Stephen Scanlon commented on the post, So how did it go?, on the site 9 years, 6 months ago
I had a very good experience. My internship started the summer of 2014 and was extended until the end of this semester, and I will be interning at PwC this upcoming summer. I learned so much that I couldn’t learn from the classroom during my internship. Real world experience is in my opinion the most beneficial learning tool available to anyone in…[Read more]

I think that time management is a big skill that you learn once you’re working 40 hours a week that you need during your internship. Depending on how far you have to travel, you might spend 7-6 at work or traveling, and then spend the rest of the time catching up on things outside of work. It may be difficult to find a work/life balance at first…[Read more]

The flash research papers in 2501 and the skills taught in 3504 about being an analyst were beneficial to me during my internship. I had to be able to quickly and directly communicate what I was trying to say to others, and I used a lot of the skills taught in 2501 in order to create short emails and notes that got a lot of information across…[Read more]

I find that one of the most important skills is the ability to take a specific technology and describe it in business terms to people who don’t use it. Being able to bridge the gap between technology and the business allows both sides to be on the same terms and make decisions that work with each other, rather than making decisions that won’t…[Read more]

Stephen Scanlon commented on the post, Discussion Question #2, on the site 9 years, 8 months ago
Most departments at IBC held multiple interns in each department when I started, but I was the first intern my department had ever had at IBC. This meant that for the first few days I was busy trying to figure out most things on my own or asking people how to do things. For example, I believe there are a total of 20 or so elevators at IBC and each…[Read more]
