Global Tech Analyst Intern Review

I'm taking for granted the tech-knowledge I gained as I'm used to the learning pace thanks to university; much greater take-away was my development as a human, and a professional. Finally I understand the significance of networking, and many more sorts of soft skills to balance the hard.

My relationship to my colleagues are much closer than someone you just sit next to, and ask few questions here and there if you need them. Indeed, the team feels like my family.

Support is there as much I need, and want it. Naturally, a single person may not be available all the time, but remember the Bank has few more people than just two.

I was neither crushing under pressure, or chilling on a beach. There were times when I was blocked waiting for something to happen, but that is when you take the initiative: network, plan other things, or read about all the stuff you are nerdy about (everything).

I wasn't literally running the place, but the importance of the tasks I received were balanced. Starting off with minor tasks, trying out a more important one that everybody else depends on, and everything in between. Now a critical task may sound heavy, but you just better think about how to solve it!

On top of many benefits including financial, social, educational, technical etc., one thing the internship offers is time to think. You are way better inspired when you see real-life problems as opposed to those made by your lecturers (as much as I love them), and the placement year means you have 365 days more to think about your future projects!

Answer is relaxed, heated-up, quite, noisy, but always friendly. Sometimes things are serious, and sometimes you're thinking humans are really just humans even in the best bank in the world.

Everything is thoroughly planned, coordinated, and executed. In terms of the attention the bank put into making sure the students got the most out of the experience, 10/10 with -100 doubt.

Well, they taught me how to meditate. That sums up the extent they went to investing in me. There are many societies inside the bank if you want to be part of something, and besides the culture of volunteering, and arts is essential part of the Bank.

Going into a long-term relationship with the Bank offers many more perks than I already have, including ability travel around the world. In terms of the meaning of the work itself, impact I could be making here rivals anywhere else in the world.

Besides our too-many-to-count breakfasts, (this is by no means complaint) we even went to the Crystal Maze! I didn't know about it before, but everyone else made sure I knew how ignorant, yet privileged I was. That was a fun day with my fellow interns I'm never forgetting.

Well sure, cheap as chips if you are literally socialising over chips. Answer depends all on what you choose to spend your money on. The area certainly has the full spectrum of prices, so if you want you can socialise over chips, or oysters with the pearls still inside them.

No idea, not a night owl.

This is definite yes. You can go as much as your body, and spirit can handle. If you are a dedicated partier, I'm sure there are plenty to feed your appetite, but if you're like me, there are always one or two you want to go to.
