Bright Network virtual internship
Has anyone done their banking virtual internship? I see a lot of posts on LinkedIn and I feel gutted I didn't take part. For those who did, what was it like?
don't do it it's trash
What is bright network
It's a UK website like an online club with application advice to succeed in different competitive industries and companies. It's very well-known in the UK and you need good grades to be one of their members.
you are deffo from bright network.
to anyone who reads this: bright network accepts EVERYBODY for EVERYTHING. not selective at all
not that well-known either, people graduated 3 years ago never even heard of this name
With the memes I've seen online about it (and screenshots from the comment threads) I reckon you are better off not having done it at tis point haha
Can you send the memes lol?
go to ibd_memes_uk on insta there were a lot of screenshots from their comment stream and people just randomly swearing/talking about onlyfans/trying to chat up girls no clue if they’re still there
@houseofhardos too
Wait, what memes? I follow a few finmeme pages on Instagram but haven't seen anything.
What's so bad about it?
Edit: never mind, I just opened the story from IBD memes UK and it's awful...
It's absolute trash, and not an internship.
Alright so apart from the wildly inappropriate attendees, does it provide any value? How was your experience of it? Because ideally, I'd like to learn about the industry and do some deals which I've been told is what they do for 2-3 days.
If you want to learn about IBD you should read WSO (check the Hall of Fame) and read books on the subject (there are also threads about that on WSO). Honestly having Bright Network on your resume could be seen as a red flag, by those who know what it is at least.
Yes. During the 2-day 'internship' the 'analysts' are going to be participating on live deals.
That's the important bit. You will be laughed out if you show it as an 'internship' or list it under work experience on your CV (LOL at the 'Investment Banking Summer Analyst at Bright Network my linkedin has filled up with). Props to bright network for providing a platform for people to genuinely learn and explore the role but it just got ruined by a bunch of trolls in attendance.
Bright Network actually advertises the thing as an Investment Banking experience lmao
Honestly some of the comments in the chat during it were so disrespectful to the speakers.
Who was Ben from the ibd memes uk screenshot? Was he a speaker? I thought it was a student being hazed!
I am not sure, I only saw the screenshots on IBD Memes too. But like someone commenting "Where's your hairline gone?", like wtf
He works for Bright Network. I think he was doing an introduction to the event.
IG @houseofhardos for daily coverage of Bright Network clowns
You should at max say it’s an EC
I skipped it as I felt I had enough SW/Finance Internships on my CV already but I think if I had come across it a couple of years ago it would have been worth doing to 1. Show an interest in the field 2. Get some "Key Words" on my CV for machine reader to pick up on.
From a secondary school students perspective it was quite informative as long as you filterd out the clowns from the chat function. The task was only as tricky as you wanted to make it. There was scope to do a DCF and a comp analysis but most people just analysed the metrics they provided.
Overall, the speakers were good and it did give a good insight.
Edit: BN made it clear that that it wasn't an internship so there's no excuse for the clowns on LinkedIn.
Please, they call it an Investment Banking Internship Experience and advertised it as 3-day Internship in their acceptance email
By the way, what is Bright Network's business model?
