What I liked
I had the opportunity to have a first-hand view of how government affairs workers interface with clients and the government and to play a direct role in those interactions by covering Congressional hearings and researching legislative positions. What I liked most was the immense variety of the topics I would cover in hearings and general research, ranging from international trade to cybersecurity to environmental sustainability and so much more. I also liked the collaborative aspects of the work, how often my tasks would involve teaming up with other fellows as well as having a helpful back-and-forth with superiors in the firm.
