“I feel so fortunate to have had an internship with BTIG. Over the course of the summer, I was not treated as an intern; instead, I was treated as an integral member of the team who could make meaningful contributions. I was able to learn and grow throughout my internship, and I felt welcomed into the culture of the firm from day one.”

During the eight-week program, interns will round out their experience by participating in social, networking and team building events. More specifically, BTIG interns have direct access to senior management through our Leadership Speaker Series and will participate in practical hands-on projects and industry specific training. Interns also participate in programs focused on giving back to the community.
