Go all in & enjoy it! Treat your summer internship like an extended interview! Stay fully focused on your work, demonstrate commitment, build strong relationships with those around you, ask questions when you need clarity, and offer help when possible.
Pro tip: create a “Wins” email folder and anytime someone compliments your work or effort, add a copy of that email to the Wins folder. You’ll have an easily accessible list of accomplishments to reference for any review or performance discussion!
Take advantage of networking opportunities. Now that you’re an employee at the firm, it is your time to meet new people, both at your level and above, on your team and outside of it. Learn about their experiences and professional backgrounds, gain perspective, understand more about the firm, and grow your network.
Meet with your Career Advisor. If you have any questions at all, please reach out to us! We can offer guidance and support you through tricky situations, or answer questions about a specific topic. Check out the session recording and review the slides from our Inside the MFin Internship: Alumni Insights & Guidance for Success workshop, which contains best practices and suggestions for maximizing your experience this summer.
