Transaction Economics Group Summer Analyst

June - August 2023 • New York City, NY

What I liked

Enjoyed working in small groups on projects with internal or external clients and having a role in drafting deliverables, running economic models, and researching capital markets trends. I gained exposure to companies across various industries and locations around the world, learning new things every day!

What I wish was different

I was very sick at the beginning of the internship, so I felt that my time was rushed and I wasn't able to showcase my full potential.

Advice

Asking intelligent, well-thought-out questions goes a long way. I also recommend mastering your accounting and basic finance skills (especially debt-related concepts) before you start your internship.

Audit Intern

June - August 2023 • San Jose, CA

What I liked

I have enjoyed working with my audit team as everyone has been extremely friendly and helpful. My counselor has also been extremely sweet and has demonstrated a wholehearted and sincere care for my success.

What I wish was different

I wish I was allowed to attend more meetings that involved how our client and audit team made decisions to promote the client’s effectiveness of audit procedures, internal controls, and financial standing. This was because while I completed the tasks that were assigned to me by my seniors, I felt as though I learned relatively little conceptually. By being able to attend strategic meetings, I would be exposed to more complex auditing subjects, which would give me ideas about what working as an auditor might look like in the future. Another aspect of my internship experience I wish could be different was to learn more about the important responsibilities of each position in auditing, namely what the respective responsibilities of an auditing staff, senior, and manager are. By having a clearer understanding of these responsibilities and how promotions work, I could then glean insight on how much auditing speaks to me.

Advice

A major takeaway I have had is that having an earnest and eager attitude is one of the most important qualities to have. Interns should not feel too stressed about not knowing everything early on because a more important quality is to show a desire to learn.

Assurance Intern

June - August 2023 • New York City, NY

What I liked

I enjoyed working in a corporate environment and getting the experience of going to a client site. They also offered the interns various activities in the metaverse, which was an interesting learning experience.

What I wish was different

I wish the intern events were more structured so that networking would actually occur. Since there were so many of us and most of us were fairly new to networking, people generally stuck with who they already knew.

Advice

Don't be shy to ask questions and ask for opportunities!

Business Valuation Intern

June - August 2023 • New York City, NY

What I liked

During my business valuation internship at EY (Ernst & Young), I thoroughly enjoyed several aspects of the experience: Hands-on Valuation Work: I appreciated the opportunity to work on real-world valuation projects. Being able to apply the theoretical knowledge I had gained in my academic studies to practical situations was both challenging and rewarding. Mentorship and Learning: EY provided me with a dedicated mentor who guided me through various valuation techniques and methodologies. I found this mentorship invaluable as it not only improved my technical skills but also helped me understand the nuances of business valuation. Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Working at EY exposed me to a wide range of industries and clients. I enjoyed collaborating with professionals from diverse backgrounds, including finance, accounting, and consulting. This interdisciplinary approach enhanced my understanding of how valuation fits into the broader business context. Exposure to Cutting-Edge Tools: EY's commitment to using the latest technologies and tools in valuation was impressive. I had the chance to work with advanced valuation software and data analytics tools, which gave me a glimpse into the future of the field.

What I wish was different

not much, I found my time there to be very useful

Advice

Networking is Key: Use your time during the internship to build strong professional relationships with your colleagues and mentors. Don't hesitate to connect with people on LinkedIn, attend company events, and maintain those connections after your internship ends. Networking can open up future opportunities and provide valuable insights into your career path, so invest in it early and consistently.

Transaction Diligence Intern

June - July 2022 • Madrid, Madrid

What I liked

I loved the teamwork inside the firm. Everyone was open to helping me if I had questions and every task was very well explained. As I had to work n a big firm and department, people who weren't part of my team also helped me even if my teammates weren't available. I wasn't aware of the importance of working in teams until I worked here. For this reason, I now understand the importance of working in groups in class.

What I wish was different

I wasn't assigned to a team or project when I first entered the office. Therefore, I wasn't introduced to anyone working in the office and felt a little bit useless. Even though I had a bad start, I started to do my own networking within the office and made good connections before knowing my team. Moreover, I also did a lot of training sessions that were very useful for my future tasks.

Advice

Don't be scared to ask if you have doubts. If you have doubts about anything assigned to you, even though it may sound stupid, stand up and ask for help to your team members. They understood that I was not a professional and they helped me a lot when fulfilling a task. Also, when I asked about my doubts and they were resolved, that was when I learned the most from this experience.
