Financial Analyst Intern

June - August 2019 • New York City, NY

What I liked

The firm has an accurately sized intern class, which means that you’re often staffed on deals where you’ll get a lot of experience working with Analysts, Associates, and even Directors. In addition, your summer is filled with actual work on deal procuring or on live deals which means that there’s not too much “busy work.”

What I wish was different

Advice

One piece of advice I had would definitely be to try to branch out outside of your deal team and get to know other analysts and Directors at the firm.
