3 Months Korean Business Internship

My 3 months in Seoul went by so fast. Corporate life in Korea really enabled me to learn so much about myself and also reflect a lot on how business practices and deals are done in here. My business internship was in a fintech company and I was exposed to a great deal of tasks on how the company’s operations are functioning. I was originally planning on doing a finance internship in London, but I thought to get ahead of my peers and take the chance of doing an international work placement in Asia. As this is my first time to Korea I felt a big cultural gap and it took me some time to adapt to my new environment. Nevertheless the warm welcoming I received from my colleagues and the involvement in current projects really took away all my worries I had at the beginning. Korea is quite an exotic place to work and the working culture can be sometimes challenging but I recommend anybody to go out of their comfort zone and take the chance to do an internship abroad. I recommend Meiji Internships and overall I think they did a very good job in assisting me throughout this experience! Cheers!
