We recently had the pleasure of presenting to the Finance Club at Western Connecticut State University! Our team provided insights on the role banking plays in the economy, as well as explored the differences between public and private, mutual savings banks.
A few of our talented employees who are proud WCSU alumni, shared their career journeys and offered valuable advice on navigating the industry. Our HR team also provided information about our internship program, which will begin accepting applications in February 2025.

Considering a career in investment banking? 🙌 Then you have to get an internship! This is crucial because banks often offer full-time positions to their interns.
But here's the catch: Many students start preparing too late. For example, if you're graduating in 2027, recruitment for the 2026 summer internship begins this fall. 📲 That means networking needs to start now!

The problem with a university education (undergrad) is that it teaches you how to be unhappy. It tells you what you should aspire to become, how much you should expect to earn, who you need to network with to get your foot in the door and where you should be applying.
It promises you financial freedom. Stack those internships like pancakes, get that degree, get hired for a good job based on that jacked resume. Climb your way to the top. But until then, you stay discontent because you haven’t reached a place you are supposed to be.
And since climbing your way to the top involves some form of ruthlessness, let’s bring that into the class room as well. Let’s make class participation competitive , presentations cut throat: your grades bell-curved just like how your future work bonus will be similarly moderated. Hopefully you feed that bloodlust long enough so that you can bring it into the boardroom as well.
I remember feeling inadequate having done only ONE internship. At a local production house, cleaning out cupboards, attending casting calls, holding a boom mic for filming, eating leftover fried chicken from a KFC shoot. A business student with no relevant internship(s) or near-perfect GPA.
Sadly it made me terribly unkind as well. The way we bidded for modules, schemed our way into forming stronger presentation teams and being absolutely unforgiving when it came to Q&A for presentations against opposing presenters. As though decimating the competition meant better grades for us. How … childish.
When I look back, I was simply groomed to view the world in a myopic manner. A university operates as a business. It is required to breed a cohort of laser-focus, ruthless graduates that can compete and successfully capture a limited pool of jobs. Jobs that pay high starting salaries. So when post-surveys period comes along, the average starting salary declared becomes causative to what a good university education is.
In Sunny Singapore, some industries pay a lot more for the same work and so naturally we were herded to those high income sectors ( banking and consulting in my time ). To reinforce that belief, the school invited successful alumni, perfect specimens that exemplified how career success looked like. Mentorship panels are still the same, everyone has to be some CEO/Partner/GM/Founder.
I look at my Alma Mata now and it’s sad. Undergrads are homogenous. Their resumes reek of exactly this- multiple internships, committees they never really wanted to be apart of, interest-groups they joined just to look interesting. Instead of providing them the capacity to ask questions, to think for themselves, we have given them a mould of life success to conform in.
To those who are not stacking internships.
Good.
Just live.
Explore life.
Read wider.
Write more.
Speak clearer.
Think deeper.
Explore you.
Hold on dearly to that passion that comes with youth.
You are so much better than this and life really is … so much bigger.
How far will you go for your dream career? For Singapore's aspiring bankers, it's doing as many as six internships and going a step further by deferring their graduation.
While there’s long been intense competition between students as they jostle for opportunities to build their work portfolio, mass layoffs in Asia due to a slump in deal-making in the region have only further fueled the competition.
And Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan have seen a surge in applications for their internships programs.

We appreciate the partnership and opportunities for our students. Thank you!
