    The Citi summer internship in London hasn’t started yet. Starts June 20th, first week digital. Week 2 more learning. Week 3-8; two four week rotations at chosen desks (I believe it’s a big intern class). The work mode is “hybrid” meaning 2 days at home (desk decides) and 3 days at the office. If anyone else is in London hit me up this summer!☺️🤙🏾

    One question though - I'm finding the work culture to be very desk driven (people are glued there - found myself a bit nervous being the only intern to grab a 5 min coffee). How do I catch up in this boutique environment where this "catch up" environment isn't really here? Best of luck also - great vid!

    Hi
    I've just finished my first year of University studying accounting and finance at not exactly a highly rated University and didn't get a spring week this year. Are my chances of getting a summer internship at an investment bank really low? What kind of things do I need to do from now to up my chances to get an internship in finance/accounting/banking etc. Just worried that I'm too late now and not going to get the job I would love. Thanks a lot, and great video.

      I’m not Afzal but I’m sure this is applicable to off-cycle internships too. With off-cycle internships, you have longer to network as they usually run for 3-6 months depending on the bank or financial institution.
