Hey guys,
I'm planning to do the Analyst Intern program at Financial Technology Partners in San Francisco this coming Fall, but I've heard that its brutal, doesn't really give interns modeling work/significant work, and a pretty bad experience. However, I've had marginal experience in Finance, and from my talks with current interns, it definitely shows a strong interest in Banking and provides a good talking point for BB interviews coming up next year (I'm a rising Junior). It's 20 hours a week, but I was wondering if anyone had any advice/comments on the validity of the firm and the experience.
Thanks.

20 hours a week is not brutal.
The interns I know certainly worked more than 20 hours a week. More like standard 60-80. I don't know what program they have that is 20 hours a week...
Most of the interns are younger (Frosh / Soph) and use it as a stepping stone to other jobs.
Word is - Great experience b/c you have a shit ton of work to do, but get no credit and the stipend they pay at the end of the summer ain't shit.
You're a sophomore (rising Junior). Do it. If you have an questions, PM me.
When I referred to the
When I referred to the brutal comment, I was simply talking about its reputation for Summer Interns/FT Analysts. Anyways, it's 20 hours per week during the Fall semester; 60-80 in the academic year is ridiculous.
Thanks for the advice guys.
