Advice

It is always great to try a big company like Bank of America once in life because one learns how big companies operate together with so many divisions.

Financial Analyst

June - August 2017 • Charlotte, NC

What I liked

I thoroughly enjoyed the networking opportunities, the exposure to the company and its high level executives, the difficulty and complexity of the work, and the commitment of the program to my personal and professional development outside of my role (i.e. case study competition and excel training sessions).

What I wish was different

While we did have a few socials and community service projects, I wish that there were more social intern bonding activities structured in the program.

Advice

I would advise a future BoA intern to keep an open mind. There are so many career paths that can be taken and explore within this company so keep your mind open and network with everyone.

Global Procurement Summer Analyst

June - August 2017 • Charlotte, NC

What I liked

I liked the fact that it was project-based, not just completing mundane tasks day to day. We felt like we were making an actual impact.

What I wish was different

The only thing I wish had been different was the onboarding process - I wish they had distributed some sort of in-depth description of the Global Procurement department/job responsibilities before day 1.

Advice

Always accept every project given to you, always ask for more work, and always ask for feedback from your boss! Also, network with as many people as you can.

Financial Center Intern

June - August 2019 • Folsom, CA

What I liked

I really enjoyed the 2 projects that I worked on and the opportunity to see how banks function from the inside.

What I wish was different

I wish I was placed in a headquarters or corporate office and not a financial center branch. I was given instructions remotely by a program manager and I would have preferred a more hands on experience with other interns.

Advice

Customer service will always be relevant in the workforce no matter how great technology becomes. Also, it is great to intern with Bank of America because they encourage different opportunities based on your passions/interests. BofA offered me the opportunity to intern for Merrill Lynch OR Bank of America next summer without the need to reapply or interview again.
