Software Development Intern

June - July 2020 • Smithfield, RI

What I liked

I really liked how the company handled the virtual internship, and they still provided us with networking opportunities and encouraged us to meet with company leaders and share our experiences.

What I wish was different

My mentor ended up taking a lot of paid vacation time during my internship. I wish he had set me up with other team members for more projects so that when he wasn't there. However, it ended up working out well, because I worked with other team members and shadowed them on projects that were pretty far out of my comfort zone and learned a lot.

Advice

Its so important to branch out of your comfort zone and network. I spoke to a VP of Fidelity during my internship, and it was a great conversation and she gave me some really awesome life advice. If the company wants you, they will invest in you. This can come in the form of hosting seminars, having leaders take time to meet with you, and a paycheck. However, at the end of the day, I had to make sure that they would want me to work for them, which included being a good team member, doing good work, and being willing to take on projects.

Workplace Consulting Intern

June - August 2020 • Durham, NC

What I liked

It was a very hands-on experience where I was put directly into the day-to-day projects and meetings with the full time employees. The people at Fidelity are so friendly and welcoming and really wanted to help me have the best experience possible.

What I wish was different

Some of the tasks were tedious and kind of boring. Being a virtual internship, it was kind of difficult to fully immerse myself and meet everyone I wanted to meet.

Advice

Don't be afraid to reach out and ask questions. Your employer wants you to learn and have a good experience.
