My Introduction - Internship with investment firm
Hey guys,
I've been lurking this site for a couple weeks and figured that it was time I made an account and started posting - especially since I've had some questions start to pop into my head.
Where to start...I'm 19 years old, I go to Mizzou, King of the SEC (hah), Finance major, and I'm a member of a fraternity...really not sure how specific of information to start handing out, so I'll just play it by ear!
This past winter break has been a great one for me. For the past month I've been interning at an Investment Management firm in St. Louis. It was an incredible stroke of luck that I got this internship, as I really sort of just lucked into it. I don't have an amazing GPA, and my interviewer told me that I impressed him when I started talking about what I liked in some Thomas Sowell books.
Right now I'm assisting the firm with a broker-dealer withdrawl they're currently going through, and it's given me a lot of experience on the accounting and brokerage side of the firm, and the investment advisory team has been overly generous in being extremely open to questions that I have, and letting me sit in on conference calls/meetings with clients.
I guess you can start commenting/asking questions for me now? Haha.
where are you working at now?
It is nice to meet you
Just curious, how hard has it been for you to obtain internships from your school? Did networking play the biggest role in getting it? I'm will most likely be attending a nontarget of similar calibre (like top 50) for undergrad and I'm concerned about getting internships.
