Overview
- Research the industries in which our clients operate to support senior bankers’ marketing initiatives - Provide specified input for presentations and other document - Provide input and editing of Excel-based models, including application of various valuation techniques - Support the team in coordinating the transaction process during live transactions - Attend internal and external calls and meetings as appropriate Note that each day is very different. I was working on several projects with my team and sometimes with other teams within Rothschild.
Skills
Working in such a fast-paced environment, I learnt how to : - Prioritize and handle multiple tasks - Communicate with clients - Gather data from external platforms - Use Microsoft Office tools - PowerPoint, Excel, Word - Network and teamwork Also, I enhanced my technical knowledge in both Merger/Acquisition and debt advisory as I joined the Transport and Infrastructure team.
Responsibilities
I received a lot of guidance at the beginning of the internship. But overall, I was given much more responsibilities than expected. I would say that if you prove that you can do your tasks well respecting tight deadlines, the team will recognize it and trust you even more.
Support & Guidance
My team supported and guided me during the whole internship. Every time I did not understand a word or the process, I could always ask questions. They actually encourage interns to ask as many questions as possible to make the most of the internship. I had a lot of catch up/explanation calls.
Culture
Really friendly and professional. People are genuinely nice. You can easily communicate with other teams as well.
Your Impressions
I really enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone who wants to work in investment banking. I had exposure on 6 deals/projects in the transport and infrastructure sector. That is really amazing for a 10-week internship!
Yes
Be yourself! If you do not know something, say it and ask questions!
