How's this year's intern class?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, here's what you need to know about this year's intern class:

1. Progress and Experience:

   • Interns are about a month into their internships, and many are reflecting on their experiences so far. Some have mentioned learning a lot and feeling positive about their performance and staffings.

2. Midsummer Reviews:

   • Interns are preparing for their midsummer reviews, which can be a critical point in their internships. It's important to take feedback constructively and avoid arguing, as it can be challenging to recover from a bad review.

3. Work Hours:

   • The hours can be intense, with some interns working late into the night. This is a common experience in investment banking internships, and adjusting to the long hours is part of the process.

4. Team Dynamics:

   • There are concerns about the virtual work environment affecting team dynamics. Some interns feel isolated and less prepared compared to previous classes who had in-person experiences.

5. Future Prospects:

   • Interns are also thinking about their future in the industry. Some are considering whether they want to return if offered a full-time position, while others are reflecting on whether the internship met their expectations.
