Intern
May - August 2018 • Salt Lake City, UT
What I liked
The people were amazing! Also, it was amazing hands-on training from the partners. Interns were expected to learn as we went, which taught me a lot and showed me that I can learn more than I think if I am willing to put in the effort.
What I wish was different
Advice
Do everything that you can! The times that I felt the best about this internship were the times that I was fully invested. Get on every deal that you can and just dedicate a lot of time to it.
