Actuarial Analyst Intern

May - December 2020 • New York City, NY

What I liked

I loved the overwhelming sense of care that I felt from each employee I worked with. I also liked how I worked on actual projects that impacted the company, and not just meaningless tasks to keep me busy. Finally, I really appreciated the networking experience provided by Swiss Re to the interns.

What I wish was different

I wish I would have had more opportunity to connect with the other interns. Even though I got close with the other interns on my team, I wish I could have mets one from different areas in order to widen my knowledge.

Inters, do not be afraid to ask questions. No question is stupid, and asking questions ensures you care and want to learn more.

May - August 2019 • New York City, NY

What I liked

I enjoyed the hands on work experience. I never was just sitting around waiting for my next task; there was always a task to be completed.

Nothing!
