Investments Intern

June - August 2019 • New York City, NY

What I liked

The amount of resources is infinite: the HR team and managers devoted a lot of effort to make the internship a worthwhile experience for all interns. During my 10 weeks there, I learned about all facets of asset management. Educational opportunities including weekly market webcasts, Meet & Greet sessions with MDs etc. Interns got the chance to meet CEOs of billion-dollar public companies, as well as some of the most renowned PE and HF managers. Projects I worked on over the summer are also meaningful and intellectually stimulating, including a performance attribution of the PE portfolio

What I wish was different

It'd be great if there were more interactions within the different teams and more long-term oriented projects; workload fluctuates quite a bit and there can be some downtime

Advice

Very worthwhile and valuable internship for those who are serious about entering a career in Finance: don't be afraid to reach out to people for coffee and learn about what they do. Take advantage of learning opportunities

What I liked

Lots of access to senior management, qualified interns, and team environment where interns are given significant responsibility but still have lots of free time to work on projects and do research.

Client Advisory/Wealth Advisory Intern

June - August 2018 • Miami, FL

What I liked

The work environment was great and they gave me a lot of one-on-one attention. I really felt like a learned a lot and will definitely use many of the skills I learned in the future. Overall, the people are really what make Bessemer so special.

What I wish was different

One thing that is tough is that they don't typically give return offers until farther along in your senior year (end of fall/early spring). That generally is a cause for concern if you were hoping to already have a job going into your senior year.
