The Milk Round

We've all heard about Milk Round before, but until you're actually a part of it, it's pretty difficult to understand. Milk Round this year started off with a Corporate Partners week, being the first week of term, with no lectures, and 4 company presentations a day. Yes, very tiring...! An interesting part of the whole week was watching how people change when they're around recruiters - transforming from nice people into something quite different right in front of you! The first week was only banks and consulting firms, but still attracted a massive number of people. I only applied to the banks, and was fortunate enough to secure an internship with Goldman Sachs in investment banking. The process was really quick (4 days), but nonetheless new and interesting. A Friday afternoon of 4 interviews, with 6 people, is a very steep learning curve! When I left the office, I was told I'd hear back by Tuesday, but was lucky enough to get the call later that evening. A feeling pretty difficult to describe. A lot of my friends have also secured internships, while there are still many that haven't, especially those looking to work in industry, as their recruiting is only getting into full swing now. A pretty crazy experience, Milk Round, but something I'm happy I went through...
