My internship was not ‘all work and no play’. My learnings were not only restricted to my project. I participated in Fidelity Cares, a CSR initiative where I interacted with numerous kids, taught them and learned from them at the same time. It also helped me interact with company employees across functions which helped me understand the nuances of businesses Fidelity operates in. We had numerous team outings with the close knitted Finance team which made me realise how working together as a team can give such amazing results. Playing table tennis in spare time, having casual conversations with the seniors over coffee were enriching and gave me a lot of perspectives.
The highlight of my internship has to be the final presentation to the Finance Leadership Team where I presented my work and was appreciated. I put almost all the learnings from my one year of study into the presentation and it made me realise that this was what I had been trained for in the past one year, how to give your best even in the most intense of situations.
My Summer Internship experience at Fidelity was astounding and it was indeed the perfect place to invest my time and get the maximum learnings, not only with regards to my project but also in honing my managerial and leadership skills, learning from the stalwarts, the Senior Finance Leadership Team at Fidelity. The learnings will remain with me forever and aid me in growing professionally.
