Hey everyone,
I am now in the process of completing my third week at Thomas Weisel. In between settling in NYC, learning about corporate culture, and finding a way to go to sleep at a reasonable hour, these past few weeks have definitely been an adjustment.
I have learned a great deal from my work thus far. I work closely with an Equity Research Analyst, along with his Associate, collaborating on research each day. I am initiating coverage on a company this summer, which is pretty exciting because I believe it will leave me with the most comprehensive experience of what a career in Equity Research really entails.
Sitting in an office has proved to be more tiring than expected. However, I have a sense of productivity that I haven't felt in a while. I have found it really is rewarding to walk out of the office at the end of the day knowing that I have challenged myself in a new way.
I have gained a couple of intangibles as a result of small mishaps that I would have never expected to face when entering my internship. For example, not bringing a notepad and pen into a meeting with your boss is pretty silly to think about but gives a poor representation of overall preparedness and interest. Again, not an issue I could have ever foreseen leading up to my summer internship.
For the next couple weeks, I will be working to complete my first initiation, and will keep my experience posted along the way.
-Alex
