In this episode, we do a recap of all the interviews done thus far.
We also share some of the key takeaways from the people we have interviewed.
Gaining a full time offer, right after college is definitely very admirable, particularly when it's from one of the top investment banks in the world. It could also be intriguing, when such feat is achieved during a short period of building competency.
Getting to understand that the period or timeframe used to build competency is not a limiting factor, and that in a short time, skills which ordinarily take a long time to develop, may take a much shorter time, with dedication and drive. In this interview, Seyikemi also takes us through how the internship recruitment process went for her, helping us understand the things she believes influenced her selection and how she prepared herself for the recruitment process.
