Due to the fact I’m a high school intern and the company hadn’t had any experience with that, there wasn’t a lot of things I can be involved. Besides me, there are currently two other interns, Anika and Caroline. Both of them are seniors(I believe) at Fordham university. Anika come every Tuesday and Friday, Caroline comes every Wednesday and Friday. I asked them about their intern content trying to see the difference but it was pretty mundane and straightforward basic research. When there wasn’t anything to work on, they use the time to check emails or do school related work, which was what I did most of the time when I’m free as well. I basically go to my college account, check if there’s any update on all kinds of due dates. Register orientation, submit this, submit that, pay dorm application fee… Because everyone in the office is so busy all the time that people don’t even take their lunch break, they get take outs and eat when working. I found it impossible to go up and ask random things about the business. Instead, I do research about the buisness so I have at least something. For example I’d ask “what is hedge fund?” And I’ll read on. And then jump to the next question. Although I’m not related directly to the business, but I’m doing my best to get to know about it.
