““I have been in Banking for close to 10 years and I didn’t know that there was so much I didn’t know about the rest of the bank, or why my CEO makes the decisions he makes! But after going through the Battle of the Banks, I now understand the reasoning.””
“I loved the in group discussions around our decisions and luckily for our team we had a mix of members, myself as a TES trader being closer to liquidity management and other members being from market risk and balance sheet management made the discussions interesting and i was able to gain valuable insights into other team perspectives based on their backgrounds.”
“The opportunity to see how a bank's ALM is a moving target and very dependent on a lot of internal decision making, external market factors as well as how your competitors are positioning themselves.”
