Private Wealth Management Intern

August 2018 • Princeton, NJ

What I liked

The work schedule is relatively flexible, my manager tends to give me a lot of independent work and trusts me to get the work done meaning I can come in and leave at a flexible time schedule. All co-workers are like mentors, excited to help you and genuinely interested in your goals. Job is super interesting and I never fear having to go into work. Love what I do!

What I wish was different

Nothing, things have been great!

Advice

It is a very involved job and company, you will always be busy and you complete serious work that will directly affect a team or the company. You start at the bottom, like most companies, but what you do still matters and is important to management. Keep your head down and put in strong effort and the position will be very rewarding. Also... learn how to play golf.
