for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes: description about program, duties/responsibilities (multiple sub-sections: Market Risk, Model Risk, Markets Credit, Capital Markets). Requirements: Bachelor's degree etc. Knowledge, Skills, Abilities And Behaviors Required (skills).

Also mention "highly competitive compensation and bonus package". Pay: Salary Range $75,325.00 - $125,500.00. Also mention bonus package? Not specific amount. So we can include Pay section with salary range. Benefits section with those items. Schedule? Not mentioned. So omit Schedule. About the role? Could use a heading "About the role" with description of program. The posting includes description of Quantitative Rotational Program. So we can put that under About the role. Responsibilities: list duties under subheadings? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. So we need sections: About the role (prose), Responsibilities (list), Requirements (list?), Knowledge, Skills, Abilities And Behaviors Required could be Skills section. Benefits (list), Pay (maybe prose with salary range). Also maybe Qualifications? The Requirements includes education and experience; could be Qualifications. But we have both Requirements and Qualifications headings possible. The instruction says use those headings if content exists. We have Requirements (education/experience) and Knowledge, Skills, Abilities (skills). Could treat Requirements as qualifications and Skills as skills. Let's map:
- About the role: description of program.
- Responsibilities: list of duties (maybe grouped by area but still list items). Could break into subheadings? Not required; just list.
- Requirements: education/experience (Bachelor's degree etc.) plus maybe work authorization note? That's a requirement but could be included.

We should not repeat job title. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO etc. Not present.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Ensure we include all bullet points from duties, requirements, skills, benefits, salary.
Let's extract details.
