In this video, I discuss 7 key takeaways that I learned from applying to over 150 Finance Internships. I applied to internships ranging from investment banking to equity research. Some notable firms that I moved forward in the application process include Goldman Sachs, Citi, RBC, Regions, US Bank, BNY Mellon, Truist, Deutsche, and JP Morgan. All of the positions that I applied for were Summer analyst positions in various locations all across the country. I am currently a junior finance major at the University of Florida's Heavener School of Business.

Thanks for the info. I myself have applied to 100+ finance internships so far, hoping to apply to more. I’ve sent dozens of emails trying to network, and I’ve only been successful with connecting to a few analyst across several companies. I don’t think I’ve even been close to attaining a spot in a superday and I honestly feel extremely lost right now. With the amount of time I’ve put it I’m really close to giving up, but I want to keep going until I get a great internship. Really just not sure what to do at this point.

I feel the same way. I've applied to over 50 and have been getting rejection letters after rejection letters. I really wanted to go into investment banking, but it seems so competitive that I also applied to many asset management, wealth management, consulting, etc positions. At this point, I don't know what more I need to do to improve my chances of getting an internship for 2023 internships which will be my junior year.

Cameron, I’m an FP&A co-op for a utility company here in Tampa and just started about two weeks ago. I know I haven’t had a complete experience since I just started and the position is temporarily remote (you know why) but I just feel as if im not learning anything and there was no structured training or anything. The other co-op works opposing shifts to mine so we have barely had one conversation. I had mentioned this to the other co-op about how I feel like im not doing anything productive and im just getting paid to do nothing really, but in my back of my head I know I must be doing something or working on a particular task. The other co-op told me that when he started out it was the same and that he would just go over the financials of the company and try to understand them but that’s about it. The FP&A team have told me to look at the project models and try to understand them, however it’s difficult to understand what they mean when you probably only looked at models once in school lol. It’s a stressful situation and im not trying to overthink it. Any tips would help if you have any!

Also, I did want to mention I have received an offer for a tech company to do an internship with them for FP&A in clearwater for the summer of this year. Which I will likely take if I don’t get an extension on my co-op (I graduate this sem)
@Galbra1th 3 жыл бұрын
I would definitely go for that tech position for this summer. As far as your current situation goes, I would just try to ask as many questions as possible and try to show your superiors that you’re doing your best and want to learn. All you really can do in that position.
@drp8604 3 жыл бұрын
I’m kind of in a similar role as a FP&A Co-op at a Fortune 500. Some tips id have is to try and connect with your supervisor as much as possible. Talk to him and see how the structure works for your department and what would be expected for you. Another aspect that helped a lot would be meeting with your supervisor every month to go over your progress, what your doing well and what you can improve on. If you think you can see yourself at the company, tell your supervisor that. My supervisor had me attend 5 or 6 meetings with different department leaders and I learned so much about the Company. Hope this helps!

@EricSmith-qc6oy 3 жыл бұрын
Yes, but there are very few of them, and they are usually extremely competetive. Some I know about include McKinsey, JP Morgan, and Deloitte. You could probably find more by looking up finance internships for freshmen. Don't apply for the ones classified as Programs or Summer Analyst because those are reserved for sophomores and above.
@Galbra1th 3 жыл бұрын
Yes, sorry. I thought I had answered this question but it must’ve been one similar. Eric was right, most of the “Summer Analyst” and Development Program roles are pretty strictly focused towards students going into their senior year for that summer (current juniors). But like Eric said, there are some “Insight Programs” or “Summits” that are available for students to apply to. These are pretty limited, but they are out there.
@Galbra1th 3 жыл бұрын
Also, for smaller companies (local or not) they might just be looking for interns to file papers and do random administrative tasks, so for those it shouldn’t matter as much that you’re a freshman. At this point it’s just important to make the connections and have something to show on your resume, even if it doesn’t directly correlate with your career aspirations.

@Galbra1th 2 жыл бұрын
I think it’s definitely possible. Engineering is a very valuable major, and the technical aspect can certainly be applied to finance. CFA1 will give you a bit more financial expertise, which will help if you don’t come in with any prior finance internships.
@jms974 Жыл бұрын
I think school matters for certain finance jobs more than others. Depends on what you want to do within finance. Finance encompasses such a large amount of careers that you have to be more specific as to what you want to do. If you want to get an investment banking internship then yes your school matters. If you want to do commercial banking or internal corporate FP&A for instance, school matters less.

Great question. After my freshman year I worked as an Estate Planning Intern at my father’s law firm. This obviously doesn’t directly relate to finance, but it gave me valuable work experience that I could translate into a lot of “buzz words” on my current resume. After my sophomore year, I had an internship as a Summer Research Analyst at a local hedge fund. This was an incredible opportunity, and although it wasn’t super technical and intense it still provided me with insight into a career in the finance industry, which gave me plenty of material to talk about on my resume and in interviews. Hope this helped!
