Outside of my time in the military, this has been the most intense year of my life. Although it is incredibly challenging, it is also rewarding. Things tend to move at a very fast (and often times hectic) pace, so there's never a dull day. Although the hours are very long, I truly am excited to come into the office and get the day started. Moreover, the Firm pushes you to step out of your comfort zone, which helps you grow as both an individual and professional
Inconvénients
1. Get ready for long hours, especially on high-volume trading days. Ten hours per day is the absolute minimum, with mine personally being twelve to fifteen hours. I typically work between 65 - 80 hours a week, five to six days a week. 2. With how busy things are, training is often rushed as trainers have their own responsibilities, and every minute spent training takes time away from their duties at the desk. As such, being a quick learner and a problem solver is a necessity. 3. If you are a lateral higher like myself, expect to be given a larger role and more responsibilities despite being new. Moreover, with such large sums of money are exchanged between parties each and every day, any mistake could very well cost the Firm millions. Needless to say, the pressure can be at times overwhelming.

Avantages
Remote option only because it was available by the business owner. Access to a program manager to vent out frustrations. Pay was okay.
Inconvénients
Exhausting interviews. No realistic compatibility. The options of types of work you want to do are typical and no lane for other creatives. My worst experience overall was not being heard with disability and a frustrating business owner despite "matching up" computer processes. Most of the business owners did not know what they wanted out of the internship and had a lot of expectations on interns when in reality they need help from senior professionals in my opinion. The closing event felt very fake and it was boring. No realistic networking and a big generational difference made it difficult with businesses who don't believe in authentic remote work. For $20 an hour, some of these business owners were asking for way too much on an intern for four months and maybe 4 hours a day. Half the time the business owner gave me nothing to do so you don't get paid for the hours you don't work.
