We started the day by checking out from the hostel, which took some time since some people enjoy sleeping. But after our hectic day yesterday, we deserved to take a long morning.
Since we had our meeting with Carnegie at 3pm we decided to walk around in Stockholm. We visited the Stockholm and the church where Daniel and Crown Princess Victoria will get married in the 19th of June. We also walked around in the old town of Stockholm to have some ice cream and look at the old stock exchange.
At Carnegie we met up with Maria Johansson from the HR department, she had arranged a great visit for us. We got to meet people from the corporate finance department, research department and the sales department. Carnegie as many knows have been through a rough time, and they were very open with it, and we got ask a lot of questions to them.
We got a good look at their new offices in Stockholm, which they moved into in September last year. They have really nice head office and we got to sit in the executive boardroom, which has a great view over Stockholm. We ended our visit at Carnegie by going down to their trading floor, and it was just like we had expected. People shouting at each other, talking loudly in their phones with clients and they all have at least 5 different computer screens to look at.
After Carnegie we hade some spare time for some shopping and for some food before going back to Jönköping.
These 2 days in Stockholm have been really great, and we have meet a lot of different companies, but specially we got to chance to see different parts of what makes up our economy in Sweden.
