Quantitative Analyst Intern
June - August 2018 • Charlotte, NC
What I liked
The organization did well in making us feel like we were a valuable part of the organization. We had a series of meetings with top executives where they would tell us about the type of work they did and their career experiences which was really nice as I got to learn more about the company outside my own role and team.
What I wish was different
I wish I had taken up more work for myself.
Advice
Try and network as much as you can with different people in the org to get a better sense of what roles you might want to try out and to just build your connection.
