investment banking summer analyst

June - August 2021 • New York City, NY

What I liked

I loved the autonomy and level of responsibility I was given immediately as a summer analyst. During my time with the firm, I got the opportunity to work on real live deals and make meaningful contributions. I was also given a high level of exposure to senior bankers by working directly alongside them in my deals.

Advice

They aren’t looking for someone who knows it all or just wants finance. They want someone who is willing to grow, who wants to learn, and who brings in a unique perspective and a different style of thinking. Study what you like because it is definitely applicable and an advantage!

Analyst (Investment Banking)

June - August 2020 • New York City, NY

It was a wonderful experience. Everyone on the team was super helpful and ready to teach you new things whenever you ask. The team was also lean, so I got a lot of hands-on experience and even some client exposure.

Nothing. They handled the whole remote situation very well.

Advice

Be proactive and ask good questions.

intern

July - September 2020 • New York City, NY

What I liked

We explored different topics and avenues to assess global debt. It was a growing program which adapted to the needs of the situation and focussed on skill development. This helped develop analytical skills, look at different data sets and trends to ask relevant questions, see what meaning we could draw from sources and identify how one economic event can contribute to another. At the end, we got to present our findings and report to representatives from the Federal Reserve in Dallas.

What I wish was different

In person would've allowed more extensive conversations on the research we undertook. While I appreciate how the program grew to tailor itself to our scope and interests if we did have a better idea of what the final project could look like we would've had a more focussed approach to allow more intensive evaluation.

Advice

It is not a traditional apprenticeship. There is scope to learn from students from many backgrounds but it is only beneficial if treated like a learning opportunity. Contributing to conversations and providing your perspective is important whether it is a point to add, something to remove, something to focus on or a question regarding any part of the discussion.

Sales & Trading Summer Analyst

June - August 2019 • New York City, NY

What I liked

Loved the culture and atmosphere at Credit Suisse. The nature of the program is very communicative, it's networking your way into a position in which you it with the team for 10 weeks. A ton of opportunity is given to see at least 3 different areas of the Global Markets sector of the bank. The people were not cut-throat and wanted to see each other end up in the best spot for themselves and the bank.

What I wish was different

I wishI had seen more desks instead of the two I rotated through and spent more time looking at potential opportunities for rotations for Summer 2020.

Advice

You will be tired because it involves having a game face on and networking from 7 am - 7 pm. It gets tiring but use your fellow interns to keep you going and vice versa. It's all about teamwork.

What I liked

Great company, had a culture that promoted a learning and innovative spirit.

What I wish was different

Nothing really, though the work I did not utilize my strengths much, it was still a great learning experience.

Advice

Take advantage of all the opportunities you are presented with. Everyone wants to see you grow and learn, so reach out to people, make yourself open and available to learn. Even if you're not crazy about the work you're doing, use it as a learning experience to understand other aspects of the business.
