Your Impressions
Really enjoyed it: despite being virtual there was plenty to get involved in and hsbc made it easy to connect with other interns. My immediate team were very welcoming and supportive. It was very obvious my manager had given a lot of thought to the project she gave me. ET are also very friendly and supportive, the sessions they put on were very beneficial.
Yes
Be enthusiastic and driven.
