Do no interview for a job you are not passionate about. Employers have a way of picking out people who want pay vs people who want that specific job.

Investment Banking Analyst Intern

June - August 2018 • New York City, NY

What I liked

The people were awesome - very friendly and willing to help you out. There were great events for the interns ("Speaker Series" talks from the CEO, COO, etc, box seats at Yankees games, and more). Work was fast-paced and I learned a TON in a very short period of time.

What I wish was different

The hours were very long, but that comes with the territory of investment banking. There is technically a 75-hour/week cap for the interns, but this is not enforced very well.

Advice

This was a sophomore internship program at a company that does not recruit directly from Williams, so I would recommend reaching out to Williams alums very early if you're thinking of applying. I used LinkedIn to find alums and then the alumni database to find their email addresses. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions!

What I liked

What I wish was different

Advice

Do not stress too much if you are not completely familiar with the field before you start. A lot of the program is designed to introduce you to the industry as well as the bank's role within it. Just come in with an open mind ready to absorb.

Analyst

June - August 2018 • San Francisco, CA

What I liked

The people and company culture were amazing. The work was interesting, and my coworkers were very helpful and interested in sharing all of the opportunities that exist at such a large bank.

What I wish was different

I would have liked to understand a little better what the work was going to be going into the summer, because I felt unprepared at points during the beginning.

Advice

Meet as many people as you can inside the office and at social gatherings because part of understanding if you want to work somewhere is not just enjoying the work but enjoying the people who you'll be spending 9+ hours a day with.

Intern

June - August 2018 • Charlotte, NC

What I liked

The culture of the bank compared to others was very welcoming.

What I wish was different

The program I was working in had a lot of routine. I was in the Financial Management Analyst Program, the bank's premier corporate finance program and one of its most respected internships. The program was rewarding but just a little routine for my personal liking.

Advice

Network as much as you can, as you move through the program you'll find out more and more what things you like. Find people in the bank who are doing those things because they are out there and they can help you!
