Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to bp
My advice can be summarized in two sections:
1. Before internship: Apply early, choose the right department that aligns with your passion, submit all documents and prepare for the technical interview
2. During internship: Work hard, be sure to maximize every support you can get especially from your immediate team, don't be afraid to ask questions and finally enjoy your time!
