Twiddling my intern thumbs all day doing jack shit - help a man out
Hey guys, third day at this "unpaid academic internship program" at an international corp, working in the Accounting/Finance team (pretty small 10 person team). I've had jack shit to do for the past two days besides sit in on a few meetings and have just been doing stock research for myself pretty much the whole day. Apparently later on they'll make me work on some basic accounting stuff.
I want to propose a larger and more interesting project for me to do just to fill up my time and so I'll have something interesting to put on the CV and talk about. (I did something like this for a past internship where I also didn't have much work)
Any ideas for what kind of project this could look like? I thought about maybe building a pitch for a small acquisition or something but that might be too ambitious?
Btw I'm rising freshman at a target if that's of any relevance?
Rising freshman 💀 Have you tried jacking off?
Bit difficult without cubicles for cover
Based on the forum section you chose, don't waste your time with stock pitches if you think you want to apply for IB later.
Look at corporate development or financial leadership and development job listings at similar companies/industries and create your own assignment based on listed requirements since selling an idea to your accounting/finance management will be easier. If you really want to be ambitious figure out a way to get management support to create a project that lets you visit other departments and interact across the business.
Great advice, thanks man
