Review

I was in China for a summer Internship program via CIP Platform. I was placed into a company in Shanghai. Right from the airport, I knew I was in safe hands. I was picked up and dropped in my apartment to settle down. I had a dinner in the downtown with my program coordinator while we break ice and get to know each other well. Anyway my first impression about China is been good too
I took an investment banking position with investment analyst job roles. It makes sense sometimes to pay a whooping sums to go out. My roles bothered around: Analyzing investment themes / strategies, Commercial due diligence of potential investment opportunities, Financial modeling and valuation analysis, Competitive landscaping studies including financial and operational benchmarking.
First of all, my role scared me and while preparing for the interview, I will say, I was not ready for it but with the Interview coaching system that CIP had for me, prepared me for it. You don’t need any serious experience to acquire more – I was told.
I joined 7 other interns with the same organization who were placed by CIP so I had no much pressure dealing with first few days.
I was operating on low budget so I could not travel to other provinces but my weekends were awesome with social activities and meeting other interns.
It was worth it though.

Would you recommend this program?
Yes, I would
