New here: Trying to understand the Internship game.

Hello WSO Community,

I'm, a second-year BBA student specializing in Management and Finance at the University of Toronto. I'm exploring Hedge Funds, Sales, and Trading opportunities for an upcoming internship and would greatly appreciate any advice or guidance this community can provide.

I've enjoyed hands-on experiences with trading and market analysis in the past, and I'm excited about the prospect of deepening these skills through an internship.

Any pointers regarding necessary skills, the application process, or industry insights are welcome! Feel free to reply here or send me a private message.
