Freshman summer
Hi people!
I am currently a freshman. What type of things should I do for the summer? Internships (in my country freshman interns are very rare), learning programming language, preparing for ACCA (kind of CPA), starting blog or anything else? I want to get maximum out of this summer.
Looking forward to your advice/suggestions. What does usually people do in their freshman summer?
P.s.= I am studying 4 years degree. Not 3.
Thank You!
PWM
First of all, thank You for the super fast reply. PWM is private wealth management (Google said so, I didnt know this term). So, please can You explain what it is?
Sorry for being an amateur.
PWM is private wealth management - correct
Hopefully do something productive like learning
Thank You!
You are welcome
What country?
.
Do a blue collar job. 1. They're fun 2. You'll probably not be chained to your desk / screen for the last time in your work life 3. Interesting people 4. Gives you something to talk about in recruiting. I definitely don't want to talk about your wild and wacky Summer learning programming during an interview.
Interesting, thank You
I had an interview for a PE firm doing bizdev but ended up not getting the offer and had nothing to do that summer. Following summer as a sophomore I got a boutique IB internship, then junior summer I had a BB internship. Freshman summer doesn't really matter that much. I regret not doing a summer study abroad then. If you can find something, great, if not, it doesn't really matter. I even know a few people who didn't have a sophomore internship and got an EB internship their junior summer. To be fair though, recruiting was early enough that he wouldn't have started at that point.
Thank You
PWM is a waste of time and not very relevant to IB. Get a search fund internship instead. Way more relevant - like a mini PE firm experience and very easy to obtain one of these internships.
Thank You
You can go search fund like the guy above or just start up is also really good, and makes a good story for your future why you like fast paced environments, etc. Start ups are also just in general good working experience for your career
Thank You!
