Only Summer Intern at BB PWM

So I'm going solo this summer. I'm the only intern at my BB's office for PWM. I've interned before, but there were 5 other interns with me, so I could lean on them if I had any questions or wasn't sure about something, and having other college kids to talk to made it more sociable.

What should I do if I have questions and such? The FA's seem cool to talk to, but don't seem like the type who want to be disturbed too often with q's. Any advice for this or anyone with experience as a solo intern?

What city is this?

The difference between successful people and others is largely a habit - a controlled habit of doing every task better, faster and more efficiently.
 

I'm in a similar situation in that I'm the only undergrad in my department. The best thing to do is spend 10 minutes trying to find an answer to the question you have through your own research efforts. If you're still stumped then ask your FA about it in a concise manner.

As for socializing, I admit it's a little difficult. The people in my group hardly talk to each other during market hours but you just have to be personable and actively start mini-conversations.

 

I interned alone in a new city in a foreign country. BORING AS FUCK unless you have tons of cash to blow (probably not if you're an intern!)
