Intern

Luigi was an investment banking intern at an advisory firm in Bangkok, researching industry trends. His project looked at why Thai power-producing companies invest in Japan, Laos, Cambodia and the Philippines: “for example, they're investing in Japan for solar: why are they investing there?”

It was his very first internship in a company: “I've learned a lot of finance skills, and it's the first time I work with employees.” He expects it to help on his CV and in his future studies.

On AIP: “they are very fast to reply,” and whenever there is a problem you can contact them directly by email or WhatsApp.

Advice

What to know before you land

I strongly advise you to do an internship. It's a great experience for you, for later; it will be great for your CV. I tried to apply by myself for five or six months before and I couldn't find anything, and I really advise you to go through an agency like AIP to find an internship, because they have the contacts and they can prepare everything for you.

My name is Luigi. I'm currently studying International Management at the University of [unclear] in the UK. I'm in my third year, and now I'm in Bangkok doing an investment banking internship at an advisory firm.

So right now I'm working on industry trends. What we can see is that Thai power-producing companies are mostly investing in Japan, in Laos, Cambodia, the Philippines, and what I have to do is to understand why Thai companies are investing there. So for example, they're investing in Japan for solar: why are they investing there? Why are they investing in Laos for [unclear] power producers?

So it was my very first internship in a company. What I will bring from the company: I've learned a lot of finance skills, and it's the first time I work with employees, so I'm sure this will be helpful, firstly on my CV and second for my future studies at [unclear] University.

So with AIP, I would say they are very fast to reply, and every time there is a problem you can directly contact them by mail or WhatsApp, and the answer is very fast, like 24 hours maximum.

Well, I strongly advise you to do an internship. It's a great experience for you, for later; it will be great for your CV. I tried to apply by myself for five or six months before and I couldn't find anything, and I really advise you to go through an agency like AIP to find an internship, because they have the contacts and they can prepare everything for you.
