So it is about that time of the year summer internships are wrapping up. I was wondering if interns are supposed to do something for the office on their last day? Like get donuts or something... I work at a pretty big company in the accounting department and just seeing if this is a good idea, or is it better to just say your goodbyes and bounce back to school?
Have you guys had an intern do anything to make a lasting impression on their last day?






Bring in some food or a crate
Bring in some food or a crate of beers, you'll get taken to lunch by the team, you wont be expected to do any work.
- Get contact details for those you want to keep in touch with (especially other interns, they can be useful in the future!)
- Organise coffees with people you've got to know reasonably well to say thank you / get further advice
- Send out thank you emails to everyone you worked with who you didn't take for coffee
- Collect whatever personal files you have on your system and upload all the work you've done to the servers (most companies have a dedicated personal folder for each team)

Shouldn't the firm do
Shouldn't the firm do something for them, rather than the other way around? Or are we really that dickish nowadays? We cut the day short at lunchtime and went out for drinks when I interned, poor kids are slaves for a summer buy *them* the beer.

Lol yeah it sucks being here essentially all alone.
A lot of the interns that have left so far where I am at didn't really do anything, management took them out to eat a couple days before they left, then on their last day the interns walked through the office saying goodbye to the people they worked with and that was about it.

Why does everyone want to
Why does everyone want to leave as soon as possible? I asked if I could stay as long as possible, literally until a few days before school starts again. And over those couple of days before school I'm doing a networking trip to NY. No vacation for me this summer.

Are you doing a trading internship?

What no goodbye drinks? We usually take out some of the SAs informally for a few rounds of thank you shots before they find out if they get the offer or not.
