Bank of America

Financial Analyst

June - August 2017 • Charlotte, NC

What I liked

I thoroughly enjoyed the networking opportunities, the exposure to the company and its high level executives, the difficulty and complexity of the work, and the commitment of the program to my personal and professional development outside of my role (i.e. case study competition and excel training sessions).

What I wish was different

While we did have a few socials and community service projects, I wish that there were more social intern bonding activities structured in the program.

Advice

I would advise a future BoA intern to keep an open mind. There are so many career paths that can be taken and explore within this company so keep your mind open and network with everyone.

Quantitative Analyst Intern

June - August 2018 • Charlotte, NC

What I liked

The organization did well in making us feel like we were a valuable part of the organization. We had a series of meetings with top executives where they would tell us about the type of work they did and their career experiences which was really nice as I got to learn more about the company outside my own role and team.

What I wish was different

I wish I had taken up more work for myself.

Advice

Try and network as much as you can with different people in the org to get a better sense of what roles you might want to try out and to just build your connection.
