Investment Analyst
May - August 2024 • Wilmette, IL
What I liked
I learned a great deal from my manager Isaac. He taught me a lot about financial modeling, creating investment materials, researching investors, and how to consult and pitch ideas to investors and clients. There was a whole group of interns I got to work with and the program helped me foster great teamworking skills.
What I wish was different
Sometimes communication with peers could be a little difficult as Microsoft teams didn't allow me to share pictures of documents or screenshots which was frustrating, so maybe having a second platform for communication would have been helpful.
Advice
I think this internship is a great first experience for people looking to get into the finance field. This internship helps you learn with other driven interns and helps you understand how to pitch slides to investors, understand what makes a good investment, and other important things that will be key for future roles.
