What: A window into Wall Street. This is your opportunity to engage with New York-based Middlebury alumni who work at leading financial services firms including Goldman Sachs and Barclays. The trip may include additional visits with alumni at other leading-firms. This is a CAN’T MISS opportunity for any sophomore who is interested in finance as a potential career path. 

**Due to the continuing Covid-19 pandemic, all participants must be fully vaccinated (no exceptions) and agree to follow all protocols for bank visitors regarding masking and physical distancing.

Who: Due to Covid-19 bank restrictions, there will only be 40 places available for this trip (this number is subject to change). This program is especially important for Sophomores because now is the time to start thinking about the junior summer application process. Therefore, students with February/May 2024 and February/May 2025 graduation dates will have priority. 

When: Fall Break; October 18-19

Where: New York City! The financial capital of the world. Goldman Sachs and Barclays have been confirmed for Monday. We hope to add additional firms in the coming days.

Why: Come meet and network with Middlebury alumni who year after year help Middlebury students land top internships and jobs. 

How: To attend you must register via Handshake by 11:55pm on Friday, October 8th. Submit a resume and cover letter that introduces yourself and outlines why you would like to participate in this program (as PDFs!). Your application will be provided to our hosts, so please make sure to have these reviewed during CCI Quick Questions (go/PCAs/) before submission. NO FINANCE EXPERIENCE IS REQUIRED.

Final Note: Accommodations and Transportation are up to each individual, but there is usually a break bus going to and from NYC straight to Penn Station! If you need a ride or someone to split a hotel with, come to an SIC or MiddWow meeting and we can find you a carpool or someone to split a hotel with.

The Equity Associate role is that of a Junior Analyst, conducting fundamental research to make buy and sell recommendations on stocks just as would a more senior member of the research team. The internship will begin with a one-week training program including accounting, modeling and valuation training. In the following nine-weeks, the Intern will focus on completing an industry project and will independently assume coverage of three stocks. For each, the investment case will be detailed through written research and a brief presentation given to a group of senior Analysts and Portfolio Managers. At the end of the summer, we will look to extend full-time offers to those who demonstrate the aptitude, passion and desire it takes to become a successful full-time Equity Associate. Sophomores and Juniors are welcome to apply.

Apply on Handshake at https://middlebury.joinhandshake.com/jobs/5017915/ before September 14th at 11:55 p.m. ET. re-selected candidates will be invited to interview on-campus or virtually.

Jessica Stillman, contributor, to Inc.om recently published a summary of the responses to a recent LinkedIn post, “If you could give one piece of career advice to your 20-year old self, what would it be?”.

Professional after professional said this is what they wished they understood when they were young.

“The way to reach your highest potential, they claim, isn’t to chase perfection, but instead to focus on diving into the work itself. The more you practice (and sometimes fail), the better you’ll get and the better the end result will be. Again, action and practice beats study and deliberation.”

“If you’re 20 and lucky enough to be healthy and relatively free to pursue your dreams, don’t waste your most energetic and unencumbered years agonizing over your choices and postponing diving into things because of uncertainty. Yes, you probably have no idea what you’re doing. And you’ll definitely make mistakes. These LinkedIn responders would like you to know that’s perfectly OK. Don’t wait to know what you’re doing to get started. The best way to figure out your career is through action.”
