What I liked

I really liked the work environment, being in the downtown Wall Street area really opened my eyes to the lifestyles of people within the financial district. I loved feeling like I was more mature, and in a way, it did help me mature a lot. Watching thousands of people bustling around me from 7am and rushing to work gave me the willpower and eventually work ethic that I've been striving to attain. I also liked the professional office space environment which also gave me a stronger sense of work, occupation, career, and simply professionalism.

What I wish was different

I wish that I was challenged more in the work place and pushed to think deeper regarding the work I was doing, which was relatively simple.

Advice

I had many mornings where I would wake up at 6am and not want to do anything, and my advice is to keep going at what you want and more specifically, the goals you want to achieve. Also, networking is the best bet you got. My gpa isn't the best right now but because of the people I met, gotten to know, and created relationships with, I had opportunities that I originally wouldn't have had.
