Here I am in NYC!

New York looked different from the moment when I came here last winter for the internship interview. It might because I am finally settled down at a place in the city or I spent few days here and I started to love this city. Anyways, one fact that did not change was that I am as nervous as I was before. It is a different pressure. I really wanted to get this internship then and now, I want to do well, making mistakes as little as possible. To be honest, get the return offer but we will see how that goes!

As I mentioned before, I spent few days before I started working. I tried to navigate this big city as much as possible. I saw a Broadway musical and a theater, shopped at Soho and got lost at Central Park. I enjoyed everything because last time when I was here, I was not able to look around as much as possible because I was here for only two days and I was still in school. However, my favorite so far was the Flea Market on upper west area! I really liked the fact that I was able to see variety of things all at the same time and they were relatively affordable J

In the past week, I was at the training to get ready for the next week’s work at the client site. There, I was able to meet many Deloitte professionals and new interns. One interesting fact about the training was that interns who are still doing their undergraduates take the same training courses as interns who are pursuing their masters in accounting and MBA degree. Plus, there were some people who have been interning at Deloitte for three years! It was good in a sense that I got to see/hear diverse perspectives when we were in discussion. I am excited for this coming days at Deloitte.

Prior to the internship

Hello everyone! I am a BBA junior who will be interning at Deloitte & Touche, LLP in New York. A department that I will be working at Deloitte is assurance (audit). I honestly have not figured out what exactly my project is going to be other than a team I will be working with is focusing on financial industry clients. For some reason, I cannot access to my personal account in Deloitte website which contains details of my internship at this point but I will figure it out and update you on that soon.

Through my internship, I am expecting to get further practical knowledge in accounting field. Since it is critical time of my life in terms of choosing a business sector or a function that I want to work after graduation, I would also like to see my fit for the job as an audit. There are things that I am excited or nervous about the internship. I am thrilled to meet with various professional networks of people and work with them but at the same time, I am afraid making any mistakes or having too many questions and have lack of self-confidence when performing tasks. Thank you so much for reading my post and I am looking forward to sharing my experience with you.
