How was Jefferies SA 2020?

Incoming SA @ Jefferies and given the likelihood of it being virtual again, I was wondering how the experience was for SA 2020.

  • Was it shortened, and were you placed on live deals?
  • Was it a lot of seminars and workshops throughout the internship?
  • Was there a project you had to work on for the whole internship?
  • Were you paid for the whole 10 weeks even if the internship was shortened?
  • Did Jefferies send laptops and/or monitors? 
  • Were dinners comped after a certain time?

Any other insight would also be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance for sharing your experience!

Great, thank you for the insight, really appreciate it.

Do you know how it was for other cities such as Houston and San Fran where there was just one group? I am assuming they didn't have seminars for the groups so does that mean they just got more work?
