Sales and Trading Summer Analyst

June - August 2023 • New York City, NY

What I liked

Employees were willing to dedicate time to teach you, and the rotational nature enabled continued learning across a variety of product groups without feeling leaving a feeling of plateau that would be more likely had I spent all 10 weeks with one team.

What I wish was different

The competitive nature of the internship in some way inhibited learning as the emphasis on delivering a trade pitch well in some ways limited creativity in taking on extra work around these deadlines despite what felt like diminishing return on the quality of work.

Advice

Relax. Being personable goes a long way to building relationships with your peers and supervisors, who will then be more inclined to spend time teaching you technical skills, give you responsibility and opportunity to showcase yourself and broadly vouch for your candidacy for a full time position.
