Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.

The majority of time on a day-to-day was spent networking with professionals across IBD, and working on our case studies within small teams. Additionally, each day involved a range of sessions, including division-specific overviews and firm-wide social events. We were also able to attend inspiring talks with senior leaders in IBD.

What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?

The spring internship helped me connect the dots and helped me to see where I might fit in. Networking with people across the division gave me great insight into the main differences between roles and expectations for interns. I finished my experience with greater clarity and I'm certain that IBD is the right path for me.
