What our (former) board members say about their board year
“By actively brainstorming with partners about the challenges they face, you can demonstrate your capabilities. So, if you come into contact with a partner where you could envision yourself working, do your utmost and express your interest. That is exactly what I did with Houlihan Lokey. I am starting an investment banking internship there in July.”
“So far, I’ve learned a tremendous amount about how corporate finances work through my role, which has given me valuable insight into the financial statements of other companies.”
“In addition, you gain a great deal of experience in communication and working within a close-knit team, and there is plenty of scope for pursuing personal development goals.”
