Less is NOT more when it comes to internships At the Morgan Stanley Tech Spring Insight week I met someone who was doing 3 different Spring Insight Weeks in different industries, at different companies. At the time, I thought this was a bit excessive. In hindsight, she was bang on. My goal at the time was to secure a grad job. The plan was: Spring Insight 🌱 -> Internship 📚 -> Grad scheme 🎓 But the benefit of doing a range of Spring Insights/Internships is that: 💼 It hugely helps any future grad job applications (shows experience, enthusiasm and you lean on the brand of the company you did the work with) 🕵️♂️ It lets you explore and work out what you do and don’t like 🥚 You don’t have all your eggs in one basket when it comes round to grad job offers ➡️ Send this to someone who’s at uni and considering doing an internship  ➡️ Comment below how you found out about the early careers programs you completed

This week we welcomed 80 summer interns into our Capital Markets business, representing the top 1% selected from over 6,000 applicants! Some of my most valuable experiences came from my internships, shaping not only my professional life but also my personal journey.   During my first one at Arthur Andersen (at the time part of the Big 5!), I discovered two things: that public accounting wasn't for me, but that I had a passion for client management. This realization allowed me to shift full focus to business and finance. The following summer, my interest in technology and finance was sparked during my Hewlett-Packard internship, but I realized I was seeking a more entrepreneurial environment.   The final piece of the puzzle was my first job, a short run at tech start-up ReplayTV at the end of the tech boom in ‘99. This was followed by a great opportunity at a high growth start-up, Good Technology. However, I ultimately decided tech was not my passion and shifted my sights to commercial real estate. With the invaluable support of my mentors at Good Technology (thanks Danny Shader, Joel Jewitt), I wrapped up my role there and moved to Dallas to pursue CRE.   Without these formative experiences, I wouldn't have discovered my passion, and it’s why I love welcoming new interns to our program at JLL. I hope this experience helps them find their passion and shapes their future as profoundly as my internships shaped mine. #jllcapitalmarkets #internship #future #personaldevelopment #passion

Business Insider reporter Alex Nicoll interviewed 2 Blackstone executives about its summer internship program. They declined to say how many of their interns are undergrads versus graduate students; they declined to say how many tend to get full-time offers at the end of the internship; they even declined to give us an exact number of interns hired for the summer of 2024, only saying it's more than 150. As any good reporter would, Alex turned to other sources, including job postings, to fill in as many gaps as he could and ended up painting a pretty fulsome picture of this largely under-the-radar jobs program, including what it can do for young people interested in getting a leg up on Wall Street.
