FMI Internship

FMI wants me for their project. I went in to speak with a Senior Associate today, and was thrown into the midst of a meeting among three high ups in the firm. They were discussing their need to vet a database of clients. I have decided that I will take the internship.

This will be using a program called Capital IQ which is widely used in IB, at least in my understanding. I will be able to use this opportunity to learn a hell of a lot about the construction industry as well. The guy I will be working under just came from a very large firm and will be a good mentor for me. Lastly, the nature of the database is such that I will need to make it accessible for the needs of FMI specifically. To do this, I will need to learn a significant amount about their business.

It all sound like a winner to me. Plus it pays well.

Janus Round 3, FMI Round 1

I got a call yesterday from the HR woman at Janus. She said that I had "left an excellent impression" on the Senior Director. I am psyched. So she set me up with a face to face interview at the Janus office here in Denver on Tuesday. I will be meeting with two guys from the group I would work in, so I can hopefully find out what the hell this job will be doing. I don't think I am ready to take a full-time job on top of being a full-time student, so I am going to see if I can make it a part-time job, if they really want me.

I finally heard back from FMI today and will be meeting with a Senior Associate in the Investment Banking Division. We'll see how it goes. This is for a paid internship, which is more appealing to me than the full-time Janus job.
