Class Of

Ten things I learnt while on the Class Of programme

  • To be selected as a Class Of requires far more luck than skill
  • RMB is full of really smart, but more importantly, down-to-earth and interesting people
  • If you want to learn, ask. Everyone is willing to help but you have to take initiative
  • Don't stuff up, people know (and talk)
  • Have drinks at the pub every Friday. Why not? It's free and you get some of the best ideas just listening
  • Never, ever discuss bonuses. You'll either make someone else unhappy or more likely you'll end up feeling relatively deprived
  • Don't take yourself too serious – the RMB 'Queen' is watching
  • Work very hard but pretend it is effortless
  • If you want to stop having fun at work, become a manager
  • Making money requires far more skill than luck
