What do you enjoy most about your current position?

I enjoy working with a variety of people from various departments. I get to work with consultants from Deloitte India as well as the legal team. I also get to work with many different platforms such as Salesforce and Reltio, which is highly valuable in the field.

Advice for students:

I think its important to apply to as many opportunities as you can since it maximizes your possible internship options. Also, looking for internships earlier in the school year also helps!

 

 

 

Anything else you want to share with students about your experience?

I found it very valuable to form connections with employees in my company who were not necessarily in my department. Hearing about their job experiences and careers helped me gage a better understanding of all the different roles in a company and how they function.
