10 TESTIMONIALS STUDENT FEEDBACK DAVIDE KOTLAR: JP MORGAN I would like to thank you for the amazing experience I had this summer. I had the opportunity to interview with many institutions (Nomura, Goldman Sachs, Barclays, HSBC, ICAP) and I finally received two offers from J.P. Morgan and Credit Suisse both in Sales & Trading for the 2016 Summer Internship in London. I accepted J.P. Morgan today. Amplify has been a huge selling-point and you cannot imagine how many times the interviewers were delighted to talk about this experience. SHARON AGRAWAL: GOLDMAN SACHS The Amplify experience on my CV has actually been crucial in both getting interviews and also helping me perform well in them, all the employers seem very pleased with a candidate with actual market facing trading experience. I managed to secure a summer internship with the Strats (Quant) group at Goldman Sachs and they mentioned the Amplify experience as pivotal in the decision in awarding me the internship.
