Finance Intern
June - August 2018 • Los Angeles, CA
What I liked
I learned so much! Everyday I was so excited to get to work that I ended up usually getting there 45 minutes earlier than I was supposed to. It was also great because I'm graduating in May and it was cool to be able to work in a full-time role and see what it's like.
What I wish was different
Nothing!
Advice
Even looking back on it now, I still can't believe that I was able to intern at HBO. I would say to get advice from resources on campus and in your personal network and do everything you can (including making LinkedIn a resource) to get to that company/role you want because it is such an awesome feeling when you finally get there and it makes all the work you've put in worth it.

Nothing really!
