Hey Guys !! I am Surabhi Gupta! One of the lucky ones who completed her Summer Internship in the year 2020 – Digitally and will be pursuing almost 50% of my MBA online.
In the summer of 2020, I interned at Sony Pictures Networks India.
When I first stepped into my college, after the hard work and toil of writing MBA entrances and sitting through numerous interviews and screening tests, one thing I knew for sure was the fact that I had reached an abode where life could only be better than what I currently had. This was followed by a realisation that I couldn’t have been more accurate in judgement and yet so callous in the process that actually led it. Sleepless nights, tight deadlines, tonnes of submissions, packed academic schedules were a reality; a reality that wasn’t appreciated in its time like all great things in life. The summer internship was the goal that drove all of us, and securing placement in one of the top companies was the ultimate close to it and we all came out of it with flying colours.
The onset of coronavirus has warped many practices for most of us. The management graduates had to bear the additional loss of a cherished once-in-a-life kind of experience, the summer internships. Here is a reminiscence of my internship journey at Meghraj Capital Advisors, which was a perpetual experience.
When you get a chance to sit for an interview with a FinTech company, remind yourself of the finance basics: time value of money, financial ratios, financial statements, terms from the stock market, etc. They will not throw very difficult questions at you, but make sure you can explain every skill and project mentioned in your profile. It is also important for you to spend some time on the company website so that you can answer questions like, ‘what attracted you to work at this firm or why do you want to join this company?’
It is indeed true that one cannot be defeated unless he accepts his own defeat.
I got an opportunity to do my Summer Internship at Bain and Company, as a Summer Associate. My preparation and internship journey was a rollercoaster ride! I started my preparation for consulting around two months before the placement process. I had got shortlisted by McKinsey, Bain, and Kearney. Ironically, I didn't get a BCG shortlist in spite of having worked there as an analyst for a year, which was a bit surprising for me.
Getting selected for a summer internship at P&G was undoubtedly one of the highest points in my career so far. From alums to professors and friends; all had spoken oodles about the eclectic culture at the organization, and rightfully so. With an overwhelming sense of commitment, I started my journey with P&G in the latter half of April.
