First Time Interning on Wall Street
Hello everyone! As the title suggests, I’m gearing up for my first internship on Wall Street, and I couldn’t be more excited. I’m currently a junior in college, and I could really use your advice!
What should I expect? Any recommendations for restaurants? Where should I look for housing? Really, I’d appreciate any tips you have, even if it’s the basics!
Also, if there are specific coding skills or topics I should brush up on before starting, please let me know.
I’ll be interning in business management and data analytics at an algorithmic trading firm this summer, and I want to make the most of it!
Not sure if this is the right place to post, but I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts! Thanks!
