The Role
I did not expect to have such a good human experience throughout the summer, the learning curve was steep and most of the work interesting. The only negative point was waiting to be given work very late at night and nothing happening in the end but it only happened once or twice.
Our work was always value and we were encouraged to send it out to the team in our name, our name would sometimes even appear on the presentations we made.
The entire team would give fantastic support and contextual explanations when working on a project.
The team was very busy during the summer and i had to work pretty long hours but I did not see hours fly.
During the internship I was fortunate enough to be given important responsibilities including sending updates to some of my Managing Directors and participating in client meetings for over a week.
I improved my mastery of the office suite, presentation skills and valuation skills in a way that has already helped with the work I am doing for my society at university. The training was of very high quality.
The Company
Whilst being serious most people knew how to have fun. I have many great memories with my colleagues and fun never stopped at night.
The internship was extremely well structured, starting with training and going on throughout the internship with several review sessions, company and team presentations and socials throughout the internship. You could see everything was carefully planned.
There was weekly training on wednesday mornings throughout the firm, our team conducted training for us and for the grads at the end of the internship I saw many adverts for personal training and development for full time employees.

The salary is competitive, the responsibility and exposure you get as a junior is fantastic and very attractive. I expect very long hours but I am still looking forward to working there full time.
The Culture
There was a good atmosphere between interns. We regularly met for dinners, went out together on the weekends and collaborated to raise money for charity.
I already lived in the area, you should expect around £1,000 rent a month and £10 for cocktails.
The nightlife in the city is not very exciting there is the NED and a couple of restaurants but we would be going to Mayfair, Sloane Square or south kensington to go out with the team.
We had some two social drinks and a carting outing throughout the internship.
