A firm I’m interviewing with for a FT role asked me if I’d be interested in doing a part time internship this semester with them before I finish up school (this is my last semester). I’m really interested in this! They’re curious as to how many hours I could put in / week.
I’m in 3 finance classes this semester, all online. have fridays off too. what do you guys think is a reasonable amount of hours someone with 3 classes could commit / week to this?
just looking for input. thanks!

got it thanks. yeah I just wondered if they’d expect more since it’s IB, but 20hrs is technically part time. but yeah I’m taking 3 finance classes this semester to finish out my college career, but definitely don’t want to turn down any opportunity
Im doing a part-time PE internship during the fall semester. Taking a light load cause I don't like online classes, but will still be full-time. I was told to expect 20-25 hrs a week.
