  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Out of all my 3 internship experiences for the past 3 years I have never feel more valued as an intern here. I was treated as an important asset with great potential here and my team did the best they can to make sure I'm enjoying my time as well as gaining knowledge here.

    • Degree-wise it would definitely help me in project management but not specifically on the technicality. However, it will definitely help me for my future career because I am hoping to work within the financial service industry.
