What do you expect from an intern?
Wondering what specific skills/things you look for in interns? I’m aware being able to 3FS and DCF model and being relatively technically competent before the internship starts is expected but I’m curious what sort of attitudes/things are specifically looked for. Especially compared to banking where it seems being able to model and generate ideas isn’t really being looked at as critically.
Are you expecting intern pitches to be actionable with solid differentiation/thesis/catalysts throughout the summer or moreso looking at how they improve and learn/ask the right questions with the outlook of where they’ll end up as an analyst? Obviously I’m going to do as well as I can but was curious what the bar for conversion normally is.
for context I’m talking about a multi manager hedge fund summer internship, Citadel, Point72 etc. thank you
