]]> Citi is an exciting place to work because of the depth of globally experienced and financially savvy individuals who work within the organization, and its ability to retain this talent. The imagine of Wall Street and financial services is one of high turnover. No matter which department or group, you will find employees who have been with the organization for multiple years. More importantly, they are willing to mentor and pass on their knowledge to junior staff members.

]]> The focus of the coverage teams in the Corporate Bank is to identify financial solutions, transcending any one product, to meet our customers’ global needs. Associates are expected to develop a broad knowledge of all Citi’s financial product offerings. I interact with my counterparts throughout Citi as a result of the breadth of transactions we can provide to corporate clients, but more specifically those executed on behalf of Global Financial Institutions. This would include but is not limited to originating and executing accelerated share repurchases, securitizations, hybrid securities, acquisition financings and derivative transactions.

]]> An MBA coupled with the Associate training program, an intense 13-week program, gives you the tools necessary to hit the ground running and to know when to ask questions. I regularly participate in brainstorming sessions that relate to concepts that I studied in business school in my corporate finance and accounting classes – from capital management and dividend policy to reducing cost of capital and economic return on capital. From powerpoint to modeling, these skills are necessary and are well utilized.

]]> The Corporate Banking training program is typically three months long. It was an intensive program that can be challenging and stressful. It also encourages teamwork and you develop a certain level of camaraderie with your peers.

]]> I hope to work internationally for the Corporate Bank.

]]> Just learned how to scuba dive. Looking forward to putting my certification into action around the world.
