Acquisition Analyst Intern

January - June 2024 • New York, NY

What I liked

I liked how I gained skills and knowledge not available in my coursework. I was able to gain a grasp of financial modeling in the Investment Banking industry while still in college. I also had both independent and collaborative aspects of my work, giving me a lot of experiences to fall back on during interviews for full-time positions. While this is a remote position, I felt that all of the interns were very involved, nice, and easy to talk to. Terry, our Managing Director, is very supportive and truly cares about the interns and teaches us the right practices and principles in a workplace environment to better prepare us for the real world. This internship program was very organized and was very helpful to me in understanding the types of full-time opportunities I wanted to pursue, along with what type of work environment I would want.

What I wish was different

I wish I had found this internship earlier in college.

Advice

Try to learn as much as you can and don't be afraid to ask your peers questions. No one expects you to be a financial modeling wizard coming in, or to understand everything right away. This internship is a great opportunity to pick up on skills that you feel that you may be lacking and a great way to break into the investment banking industry and/or broader financial service industry.
