Great Time in London

I really enjoyed my 10-week internship program in London. I appreciate that TIG checked in on me periodically to make sure I was ok. They regularly sent updates of things going on and things to do in London. Their staff responded promptly whenever I contacted them (before and during my internship). I also liked the three events that were offered as part of my program.

The internship itself ultimately went well, though I wasn’t happy with it at first. I expected more structure and mentoring. I think those things would’ve made this a more effective internship. The people at the company were great; it’s just that the way things were done was a bit chaotic. However, I still gained so much from the experience. I was pushed out of my comfort zone (for the better), tried new things, and was able to make a difference at the company. My experience made me more confident and capable, and it helped me get a job in a new career field.

The professional and internship preparation resources offered by TIG were helpful and interesting. However, I was disappointed that they did not follow through on the alumni success coaching session as promised after my internship.

Overall, I had a wonderful time in London. I did pretty much everything I wanted to do, and my time there helped me grow personally and professionally. I’m so late with this since my internship was from the end of November 2023 to the beginning of February 2024, but thank you for everything, TIG!
