Next Stepper testimonial

"I enjoyed the fact that I am learning about accounting and finance. Aside from the technical tasks I have to do, this internship is also teaching me how to work and present myself at such a professional workplace. I am slowly starting to discover my ideal career path. After this internship, I plan to take what I have learned and apply them to my studies at school. At my internship, I assist the company’s clients with managing their financial assets. I make sense of the numbers on various Excel spreadsheets and look over the clients’ SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures). " Jocelyn, UC Davis, California, USA, Summer 2010, Shanghai.
