Elliot Hill, from Intern to CEO… The journey from unpaid intern to CEO of a global company isn’t just rare—it’s redefining what’s possible for anyone starting at the bottom. Here are three lessons we can take from his remarkable story: (1) Your Start Doesn’t Define Your Finish - Hill began as an unpaid intern, but it by no means limited his potential. - No matter where you start, persistence and hard work can take you to unexpected heights. (2) Redefine the Limits - What seemed like an anomaly has now set a new bar. - Hill’s rise shows us that the traditional corporate ladder doesn’t always apply. (3) Embrace the Journey - Success doesn’t come overnight. - Hill’s story is a reminder that every step we take in our career matters. To all the interns and early professionals:  - Take these lessons to heart. - Keep moving forward, because even humble beginnings can lead to the pinnacle of success. The bar has been set higher than ever. Now, it’s your turn!! If you need any assistance on your next career endeavor, let's book a call 👇🏻

Today is International Intern Day. International Intern Day! A day to celebrate the next generation of leaders — our interns! 🎉    This year, we at Beringer have had the pleasure of working with Haris Sheikh, our 2024 Summer Investment Analyst, and we want you to get to know him too. We’re grateful to Haris for his hard work, fresh perspectives, and continuous desire to learn.    7 Questions with Beringer Capital Summer Analyst Haris Sheikh:    Q1. What did you want to be when you were a child?  A professional soccer player! Real Madrid all the way.  Q2. How did you decide on Beringer for your summer internship?  I knew someone that had worked at Beringer previously and they had great things to say, but then when I had my interview, I was really drawn in by the culture; everyone was so nice!  Q3. The coolest thing about my internship has been_______.  Getting to sit with people who run multi-million-dollar businesses, like @Benzinga and learning how they think.   Q4. What’s the key learning you’ll take away from your time at Beringer?  I’ve learned how to think like a Private Equity Analyst…what to look for in a deal and how the deal evolves over its lifecycle. Also, attention to detail is really important!  Q5. You’re a Finance major—do you see yourself being in the Private Equity world as a possible career path?  Yes, 100%. I was interested in it before, but this experience really affirmed it for me.  Q6: What is your favourite thing about being a part of the Beringer Capital team?   The team is incredibly supportive, and the collaborative culture fosters both personal and professional growth. It's inspiring to be part of a group where everyone is passionate about what they do, and where my contributions are valued and recognized.  Q7. What’s the most fun thing you’ve done at Beringer this summer?  On the social side, they had a welcome event at an Escape Room. I love Escape Rooms—I’ve done 16 of them. I only escaped from 15, though. The one I didn’t get out of was one I did with my parents. 😊    #PrivateEquity #NationalInternDay

To all firms hiring Summer Associates and Interns Your summer employees are in a unique position to learn about their soon to be realized career and your firm. And, there is an additional way to provide them with a valuable benefit--and benefit your firm, too. We have developed a program focused directly on summer employees (regardless of what type of firm) that allows them to learn valuable elements of practice that complement what they learn from their jobs. They need to understand the marketplace, competition, differentiation and how to effectively message, develop a strategic plan, networking and more. It is covered once each week for an hour over a six-week period. While it enables them to gain essential knowledge and insight versus those who have not been exposed to these topics, it provides benefit to your firm as well. It demonstrates the firm's investment in them and can more easily connect you to those you ultimately want to retain. Please let me know if we can discuss. #summer associates/interns #business development #marketing strategy #professional services

Have you ever wondered why people intern for a company working in the most boring part of IT? We asked our most recent round of interns, and here's what they had to say. #PaperCut #WorkAtPaperCut

Happy Interns Day! I spoke with one of my clients about the interns she has working with her this summer and she told me about a question she asked each of them recently. She asked each of them what they hadn't worked on yet but wanted to before the end of the summer. I think this is such an important thing to find out. Remember, you have the ability to help a young person determine their future path right now. Talk to your interns. Ask questions. Find out what they love and don't love. You never know, you may be talking to your future best employee. #internsday #edistoconsultinggroup #nowhiring

Today wraps up my 10-week internship at CampusESP in Operations. In the spirit of the office, I thought I’d reflect on the company goals as I offboard: 1. 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗻. I’ve honestly been spoiled from working here. Watching a company truly care about its employees (and put money and time where its mouth is!) has raised my standards for what I should expect from management. I’ve watched leadership genuinely listen to and consult members of their team for big decisions, and everyone tries to make themselves approachable — my co-intern, Sammi Chai, and I even got to have breakfast with co-founder/CEO Dave Becker! I’ve learned a lot from everyone, but in particular wanted to highlight my managers Jobi John, Brianne Alvarez, and Dan Combs for the time and care they put into training me and Sammi, supporting us when we had questions, and serving as mentors for us. 2. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆. I’ve been thinking a lot about this as Sammi and I tackled a larger-scheme data project regarding our customers that culminated in a presentation to several teams/leadership and co-founder/CTO James Bright. It’s so easy to get lost in a sea of numbers, but I’ve been reminded constantly of two things. Firstly, any data project should be human-driven and inform human-efforts. Every data point is a person, and at every point in the process Sammi and I tied our work back to: What core problem are we trying to solve? The results need to be human efforts, and I'm excited to see our work drive personalized support to customers. Secondly, I've seen that there is no dollar amount that can be put on connections - this team cares deeply about its customers, and their customers care deeply in return. 3. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝗲 𝗮𝘄𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲. Sammi and I both started our internships at the company summit this May in Philadelphia. What an incredible privilege it was to meet countless admin in higher ed who had taken time off of work to come talk passionately about CampusESP, network with other colleges, and think creatively about how to make the college experience better for students and parents. I attended talks and listened in on discussions about targeting First Gen/Low Income Families, International Families, Students of Color, and more. What emerged was many creative solutions to very human problems. I am so lucky to have gotten a taste of a growth company - while the work was hard and the deadlines were fast, the payoff felt incredible. So, tl;dr is, thank you for an amazing 10 weeks! I have learned so much and am excited to see this company grow.

✨ Who should you reach out to during your internship? ✨ Without a doubt, interns are the key to success in your future career – which is why TD organized an entire day of celebration for us, including sweet treats, games, and the chance to mingle! 🍬🤝 But why is connecting with other interns so important? While you should still try to reach out to as many managers, AVPs, and VPs as possible, your fellow interns are a resource much more precious than you'd imagine, for three main reasons: 1. They offer you the chance to learn more about TD's numerous teams/departments. ↪️ Talking to other interns allows you to truly understand what other teams do, including their daily work lives and yearly deliverables. And because information is gold in order to find your perfect fit, interns are the way to go. 2. They are more accessible, relatable, and you will have more relaxed conversations. ↪️ Reaching out to VPs and managers is always a stressful process, as some of us might feel embarrassed to appear too needy or pushy. Meeting with people your own age, who you share interests with, who are going through the same tribes and tribulations of interning, and who are eager to form new connections will lead you to have more relaxed and open conversations. You can discuss personal matters more openly and get advice on subjects you might not want to bring up directly with your management. Interns are also usually less busy than executives, meaning more chances to meet and connect! 3. Most importantly, you will grow into young professionals together. ↪️ No connections are as powerful as the ones we make while trying to find ourselves. Creating real friendships with your fellow interns while you all try to figure out your futures – which is stressful enough – will result in lasting connections. Be someone they can rely on, and you'll soon have access to the next generation of leaders and drivers of change in your community! #TDCampus #ProudToBeTD 💚
