Would be super grateful if anyone could provide insight on how long it typically is and whether it’s possible to get Annual Leave during this period (even if midway through? I presume it won’t be possible to delay start date but is there anything else I can do if I’ve got some external commitments? Thanks!
Edit: London if it helps

Training can consist of learning systems, best practices, modeling, doing a project, homework and exams on financial concepts while simultaneously studying for your series exams, which some places require a passing score prior to beginning the job (those who do not score above the passing grade get booted at some places).
If you have other commitments, let someone on your team know this now (many months ahead of time), rather than starting work for a week and then taking time off if that’s what you were asking
Thanks for the reply!
I haven’t yet joined so I’m worried about causing issues but I’ll likely be away for a few days only - do you really think it’s not a huge issue to mention it so early?
Depends - what is the external commitment? Also if it’s just a few days, you should still let someone in your team know that in advance, why would you wait until training starts to notify you have to take days off?
You think it’s better to wait until summer to say you need to take a vacation during training?
Regardless if you have to take a week or not, I think the best thing to do is get very familiarized with any and all concepts you’d eventually need to learn anyways, so you can be knowledgeable on most to all financial topics by the time summer rolls around, and so even if you took off a few days from training you’d still have most to all the info you’d need to do well in your job after training. This is coming from someone who didn’t take any time to learn the training topics during senior spring, and fell behind both during training and when starting on the desk, despite not even taking any days off during training
