Questions before my Internship

Hey All,

Going to have an IB SA role in NYC and wondering what questions I should be asking the interns from Summer 2024. 

Here are some I was thinking:

How many hours did you work on a weekly / daily basis?

What was your living situation and what do you suggest?

Did you get any benefits like stipends or ubers?

What skills are most important?

Is there anything I should study up or get better at?

What helped you get a return offer?

Let me know if there is anything else I should be asking.
