Intern perspective

Hi everyone,

I just started my internship as a trading intern 3 weeks ago. I feel like my internship kinda leaves me alone for a while and I came here with barely any knowledge of the trading industry and I feel like that is really kicking my ass now. I know I am interested in what they are somewhat teaching me but the learning curve is killing me. Everyone is telling me that I am doing great but I just feel so dumb here and feel like I’m not making the most out of my internship. 
 

I am usually so outgoing and engaging but this internship is draining me. Any advice or similar experiences?

 

Hey man I started my internship in June and get the same way 3 weeks in, the python learning curve was beating my ass and I felt terrible, the truth is nobody expects much from us, I’m sure your doing fine. We don’t need to become pros a few weeks in, as long as you make sure someone there remembers you and you learn something your winning.
