New York, Week 4 – Getting hands on

Ruairi Feehan

Week 4 in New York and busy season is well and truly upon us!  I have been working on broker-dealer entities and I have found the experience to be both challenging and stimulating in equal measures.  I am getting a very hands on approach to the work and learning about an industry which is very fascinating to me.  As noted in my last blog I have a keen interest in the financial markets, therefore the work I’m currently doing has me engaged and I am looking forward to the weeks ahead.

Last Sunday was one of the most beautiful days I have experienced in NYC.  It was restaurant week in NYC and to mark the occasion I went for Sunday lunch with three fellow South African secondees, Amore, Janse and Gareth.  I have really enjoyed getting to know these guys.  Afterwards, we went for a stroll in Little Italy and as it was a glorious day, we decided

to walk over the Brooklyn Bridge.  The views were stunning and it was the perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
