Private Equity Intern

March 2023 • New York City, NY

What I liked

Coming out of the program, I've built such a solid and practical foundation for my career. This level of sophisticated and thorough training regarding financial models and presentation building I can get nowhere else. I had the opportunity to work directly with the Founder and Managing Partner who has over a decade of Wall Street experience, from whom I’ve learned a lot and received great mentorship. Participating in weekly live instructor-led webinars which provide market news and recent deals analysis has also helped me improve market sense and build my own opinions.

What I wish was different

I truly think there is nothing I wish had been different. I only wish I learned about this program much earlier. So it would be best if more people could know about it early on.

Advice

If you're serious about Investment Banking and Private Equity, take full advantage of this program which provides lots of valuable resources. Be ready to work hard, manage your time well, and don't be afraid to ask questions. It's intense and you will have a steep learning curve. Within about 15 weeks you’ll gain the same experience as what takes an investment banking analyst 1-2 years in workplaces.
