It's too early to talk about Christmas...but

Quick question:

How appropriate is it to approach bankers in regional BB's about shadowing for a week or two during my Christmas break from Uni? I obviously wouldn't do this already, but after my SA position either in the same bank (different division) or a different one.

Cheers.

Would like to know as well.

The difference between successful people and others is largely a habit - a controlled habit of doing every task better, faster and more efficiently.
 

Yah, its a complicated issue. It's not really an off cycle internship so there are bound to be privacy problems. And asking for a different division at my own firm would be dodgey if they were deciding FT offers. Is a week of shadowing at a regional BB even possible?
