Fidelity Investments

Stock Broker

June 2021 • Salt Lake City, UT

What I liked

I loved getting the series 7 and 63. Fidelity paid me during the licensing process and paid for the test fees and registration fees for all the states+territories

What I wish was different

It was mostly online due to Covid. It was great bonding with my coworkers but I wish it wasn’t a Covid year and more could have been experienced first hand in person. It’s a lot of information really fast so you must stay on top of it. It will dominate your summer to get licensed but it’s worth it

Advice

Getting those licenses is hard. But once you pass fidelity takes great care of you. Great pay, bonus, schedule flexibility, benefits like 401k match, HSA contribution, insurances, mental health care, PTO, education benefits

What I liked

I enjoyed the people and the culture at Fidelity. They truly wanted to help me succeed and show me what they did everyday for the company.

Try to understand what the role is within the company before you take it. Additionally, if there is a role that you want to pursue, try to talk to people within the company to find out more about it and make connections.

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.
