gave me a good opportunity to verify that a future environment of this general category would give me a sense of personal gratification. The interaction with portfolio managers during actual business was an experience which helped me develop my financial market knowledge. It was an experience I fully enjoyed. I also noted how the few courses I had attended at college already were a significant help in appreciating the internship. Even though it was my first serious internship, I didn’t feel any strangeness, but contrarily I felt like I belonged in that environment. As a consequence of the above, I inferred that would I feel at home in a business environment and would therefore do well to commit myself in a domain of endeavor related to structured economic and financial activities. How did Swiss Finance prepare you for your career?
As I mentioned above, during my first internship, I found it gratifying to make connections between the theories I had learned in school and the practices that investment bankers employ. Making connections between formulas, theory, and the applied practice was the focus and connecting thread of the Swiss Finance program. For every topic we covered, I could make the connection between what we were learning and how we would need to use the knowledge in a work situation. It was completely practical career training. The other way Swiss Finance prepared me for a career in investment banking was through the class of students. Each person at the program had a deep interest in finance, investment banking, trading, or business in general. This made the entire tone very focused; we all wanted to be there and really learn. The only other time one would be around this many people who are intent on a career in finance is actually working in a major financial institution.
