Being part of the CIB Tech Graduate Programme has been an enriching experience. I have gained valuable insights into the financial industry, improved my business analysis skills and enhanced my ability to bridge business and technology. One of the key benefits is the opportunity to work closely with experienced professionals; another significant advantage is the team rotations. I look forward to continuing my development and contributing effectively to the teams.
Working as an IT graduate at BNP Paribas is both rewarding and enriching. I’m constantly learning new technical skills while gaining valuable knowledge of business operations. I get to work on meaningful projects that have real impact, making the experience even more fulfilling. The support from managers and colleagues has been invaluable.
Throughout each rotation of the CIB Tech Graduate Programme, I’ve learned from inspiring colleagues, managers, and external training. Beyond technical and soft skills development, it has opened doors to explore the finance world, understand the company’s culture and organisation, and build a strong network of graduate peers and talented experts. The resources BNP Paribas invests in its graduates has made me feel valued and contributed significantly to my professional growth.
Joining the CIB Tech Graduate Programme has been a remarkable journey. The mix of hands-on projects, training, and a vibrant network sharpened my technical expertise, fostered collaboration with colleagues, and delivered tangible impact. I’m driven by continuous learning through workshops, peer interaction, and feedback. The strong support empowers me to innovate, tackle challenges, and keep growing.
