Jack Zimmerman's journey
Why did you start the traineeship?
I left my previous position feeling like I needed a change in career. I thought that to make the transition easier, I would have to follow a course that is dedicated to that idea.
What did you enjoy most?
I think the breadth of the curriculum gave a good idea of the scope of the market, what positions I could take and what I needed to focus on, which gave me the additional motivation to pursue extra learning for my new role that I may not have had otherwise.
What's your current role like?
I’m currently working in RegTech, where I’m supporting clients with problems associated with validating their data to the relevant regulators (Think Bank of England). My day-to-day includes writing Python code to improve different parts of the code-case and communicating with different parts of the team to ensure quality.
