As my summer internship comes to a close, I wanted to take the time to thank everyone at Neel-Schaffer, Inc. for an amazing summer. Specifically, my mentor, Valeria Hernández, PE, whose expertise and leadership makes her someone I admire professionally but also personally, as she is a wonderful person I truly enjoyed working with. Thank you to my fellow intern, Laxmi Gayatri Tiyyagura and everyone else at the Atlanta office who created such a fun and supportive work environment. During my summer at NSI, I set aside time to have virtual coffee chats with engineers, biologists, and geologists across the Southeast to learn about their professional journey and what kinds of projects they work on currently. At the end of each chat, I always asked for a piece of advice they would give to someone at my stage in life and I thought I'd share some of the wisdom I collected over the summer. -Even if you aren't in marketing, your job will have marketing. Learn to market yourself and your ideas. -Speak up: speak up if you see something is wrong and speak up for yourself and your ideas. -Get everything in writing, especially when it comes to your pay. You should have a paper trail of all important updates and changes. -Listen to the part of you that is nudging you towards your passions. Stability does not have to be the only driving force in every season of your life; do what is best and fulfilling to you in whatever season you are in. -You will find yourself in places and situations you had not planned to; it is ok, everything happens for a reason. If for no other reason than to learn from it. -You spend a lot of your life working, make sure it's at a place you enjoy. -Figure out what you like to do and find a job where you can do it but expect that there are nuances and diverse projects with every role, and you will do a lot of different things—not just what you like. -Have empathy. Read fiction books. Care for others; there isn't enough of that in the world today. -Never quit on a bad day. I am excited to take everything I learned this summer at Neel-Schaffer and apply it to my next chapter in life. #OneNS

It's that time of the year! When I was an intern at Goldman Sachs, they stressed that an internship is a 10-week, two-way interview. Take the time to get to know the firm and its people, but also come prepared to contribute and differentiate yourself. Curious about some quick wins? It's one of the courses in our one-week Professional Primer course. Check it out on our website! #internship #summerintern #finance #careers

Yesterday, 23 of our Zions Bancorporation Enterprise Technology and Operations interns presented to Bancorporation leadership (including Jennifer Smith!) about their internship experience. Every intern did a fantastic job. Most of these incredibly talented interns were recruited by my colleague Lizette M.. She deserves a special shoutout for her hard work to bring so many interns to the Bancorporation! Over the last three months, these interns have shined in a variety of departments, from information security and business process automation to loan operations and data science. Each presentation offered a glimpse into how our internship program equips students with hands-on, real-world experience. This experience was more than a learning opportunity for these students; their work added so much value to Zions. Interns bring a fresh perspective and can drive innovation. Many presentations touched on how these interns provided cost savings, implemented process improvements, and completed other crucial projects for their teams and departments. Even though Zions is a bank, anyone who says that a bank is not a technology company is living in the past. The future is in good hands with this next generation of "bankers." Lizette M., Nicole Wells, and I are deeply grateful for such strong executive support for our internship programming. We are also grateful to our interns who have put their best foot forward this summer to make a difference at Zions. The feedback about our internship programming, from both our leadership and our interns, has been overwhelmingly positive. Here's to our technology interns! We can't wait to see what you will accomplish in the future. (I'm sure I missed a few people in tagging this photo. Tagging photos with this many people on LinkedIn is tough!) #zionsbanker

No return offer after your summer internship? Been there. In ’07, I faced the financial crisis with no return offer and 20+ rejections. But I still ended up breaking into IB. Join our live Q&A tomorrow, 4:30pm Pacific / 7:30pm Eastern. I’ll share my insights on overcoming the odds in IB recruiting. Tune in on IG, YouTube, or LinkedIn. See you there! -Sam Wall Street Mastermind #investmentbanking #wallstreetmastermind #wallstreet #recruiting #careeradvice
