Overview
In the analytics and sales internship, you rotate between analytics, where you get training on financial concepts and the terminal, and sales, where you interact with clients firsthand through calling campaigns and client meetings. Furthermore, you have key projects that you work on as a team throughout the 10 weeks of the internship and present at the end.
Skills
Although I have a background in economics, the internship provides training sessions on financial concepts that help to bridge the gap between interns with and without a finance background. We were also able to develop our terminal skills significantly throughout the internship as we needed to be at the level at which we could teach clients how to use it.
Responsibilities
Yes - we started engaging in crucial, client-facing tasks very early on in the internship. Although we had support from our mentors, we were encouraged to book our own meetings and lead them ourselves, taking responsibility over the process from beginning to end.
Support & Guidance
There was a lot of support provided - between our sales line manager, sales mentor, analytics mentor, analytics team leader, analytics manager, and connector, there was no shortage of people to turn to when I needed help or advice. They checked in with me regularly to ensure that I was always keeping up and making the most of the experience.
Culture
While many companies claim to be inclusive and collaborative, Bloomberg really lives up to what they claim. Due to the flat hierarchy of the company, you are able to connect with anybody in the company and learn from them. Everybody is always open to helping everybody and the pantry is always buzzing with this energy.
Your Impressions
I really enjoyed my internship experience and felt that I couldn't have asked for anything more. The training, support, tasks, and networking opportunities were very well thought out and really supported my experience here.
Yes
Always be open to learning from others around you as they are only looking to help you. To excel here, you need to be willing to acknowledge when you need help, reach out to those around you, and keep on learning throughout the process. The experience is really what you make of it and can be pivotal to your professional development if you engage properly.
