How long does it take someone to complete your training programme?

Initial training takes place in either New York or London. All new analysts participate in a worldwide analyst orientation programme for one week in New York. They then spend several weeks learning the specialised skills and products which vary by division.

In Equities, FICC, IBD and IMD, graduates participate in a mathematics and accounting programme in New York before going on to undertake division-specific training.
