Is it fine to be a mid intern in banking

Current SA at a MM. Had our first performance review today and the feedback I got from my line manager is “Nothing stood out specifically, which is a good thing because it means no red flags. Generally positive, you ask good questions and act professional.”

That seems kinda mid to me. Not to read too much into it but I’m genuinely curious about how to improve cuz we all wanna be the one who impress at the end of the day.

Any advice?

Depends on the bank. Some places internships are yours to lose, some they want only who is "good". Tbh it sounds like you're good and it's early days right. You could go back to them ask what you can do to stand out.
