As we’re writing this, our period with the Research & Risk Solutions team is almost over, and we are preparing to present our final project to the team. A project which offered the opportunity to dive deeper into how big an impact the Net Zero transition, and the emerging use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) will have on the economy, i.e. labour market, inflation and interest rates.
The project is particularly interesting as we’re digging into two mega-trends which already are affecting our world, but will have even more impact in the world of future generations. So, it's been a quite interesting, educational and eye-opening project to work on together, and we look forward to presenting it to the team, and hear their feedback and expert views.
Interesting conversations and great supervision
Our time with the Research & Risk Solutions team can be summed up by a remarkable steep learning curve, interesting conversations and great supervision from Ole-Håkon Eek-Nielsen, Head of Research & Risk Solutions Norway, and Kristoffer Stjern, former intern, and now Assistant Analyst in Research & Risk Solutions Norway.
Also socially, we’ve enjoyed the past two weeks (as we’ve enjoyed the entire internship in Markets, LC&I). During our last weeks, we have also taken the opportunity to do some “desk-hopping” on the trading floor, observing how sales people within Derivatives Coverage and Fixed Income work day-to-day, as well as watched how traders within interest rates, bonds and FX operate.
There is, for sure, a special vibrant and exotic atmosphere on the trading floor, full of exciting people and products. We’re going to miss it – the atmosphere, the people, everything.
An excellent opportunity
As per tradition, all of us interns have also attended the weekly afternoon Summer Academy. It’s a tailored program for us interns where a LC&I team presents their business area, and tell what they do, how they are organised etc. over some pizza and cold drinks.
At the past two Summer Academy sessions, we were introduced to the Securities Advisory and Equity Sales teams. Afterwards, we went to Nordea’s sunny rooftop terrace for some drinks together with the respective presenting teams, where we were able to ask the teams more questions about work in general, their career journeys, and other philosophical life questions, before heading off to town together.
