RBC Capital Markets

Equity Research Summer Associate

June - August 2019 • New York City, NY

What I liked

RBC Capital Markets has an incredible & welcoming culture, less common with investment banks. It cares about each employee regardless of which position you are in. I had a great time during the internship. I got an opportunity to work with all different industries within research department, a very unique experience.

Investment Banking Intern Municipal Finance

June - August 2017 • New York City, NY

What I liked

The team at RBC is incredible and you will learn so much throughout this internship. Expectations are high and the pace is fast, but once you get acclimated to the work and the routine you will be shocked at how much you are learning in and out every day.

What I wish was different

The hours for this internship were a bit tough and definitely longer and harder than internships that I completed in the past. While the hours are long, it is to be expected in this industry and overall felt as though the culture and the experiential education that I was receiving made the hours worth my while.

Advice

The biggest piece of advice I would give to a future intern is to do everything you can to minimize mistakes but expect mistakes and expect failure. Learn from your mistakes and use them to help you grow. Don't be too hard on yourself and rise above the expectations of your superiors.

What I liked

Learning about the technical products and processes.

What I wish was different

I wish the structure had been different. Some interns got lucky and had a great structured experience, while some of us didn't even get managers assigned to us.

Advice

If you take this job, do a LOT of research and try very hard to network into the rotations you ACTUALLY want to do. Some of the rotations have very little flexibility.

Overall, it was a really great experience. I learned a lot and was able to get a lot of hands on experience. My best piece of advice would be to always maintain a positive attitude and smile.
