I learnt a lot about financial modeling, real estate(specifically in healthcare) and creating proformas/projections. Additionally, I got really proficient in Excel and was taught many shortcuts. Lastly, I really enjoyed the company culture and nature of work. I think that I was given a lot of independence to do whatever, as long as the work got done. My headphones were always in, and I wasn't being watched under the expectation and confidence that my tasks would get completed.

Summer Analyst
June - August 2023 • Chicago, IL
What I liked
I loved interning at Helios because of how intellectually stimulating the work was and the amazing work environment. Through the training modules and the opportunity to work on several live deals, I was able to learn so much about the healthcare real estate space and build hard skills (excel, financial understanding, etc.) that I'll be able to apply in the future. The team is also super approachable and dedicated to making the internship a valuable learning experience for all interns.
