BO intern working 12/13 hour days.. Need advice
I intern for a BB and my hours are usually 6:30am-7pm. Every other intern in my division is doing a 9-5, but my boss wants me to be first in and last out.
My team is made up almost entirely of consultants from outside companies. If I were to take a full time offer, I would not be put on this team (they want specialists, and having anyone at the analyst level isn't worth it to them).
I am literally working 13 hour days for a team that won't take me full time (assuming I do get an offer), doing incredibly challenging work that the bank is hiring consultants to do for them.
At this point, I have no desire to take a FT offer. I honestly feel like I am busting me a** for nothing, and learning skills that are only transferable to a very niche part of the industry. I am a walking zombie who can't attend networking events, lunch events, happy hours, etc.
Do I try and network and change teams? I am working hard, trying to learn as much as possible, etc. but I can't help but to be incredibly frustrated.
Does anyone have any advice?
Are you part of a larger internship program at the BB where each intern is placed into a different division? Since the internship already started and you have been placed in this group, it will be difficult to change teams now. If you have no desire to take an FT offer with this firm, you will still have to try to get an FT offer from them so that you can leverage it for better opportunities for FT recruiting. As you probably know, it looks bad if you are interviewing for FT positions without having gotten an offer from your summer internship. You will be asked this question during FT interviews and it is always a bit awkward to address this issue when asked such a question regardless of the situation.
