Finance
International finance internships often involve working with global financial markets, understanding cross-border financial regulations, and dealing with multinational financial operations. Interns are typically expected to be bilingual in English and the local language, and to have a strong background in finance or related fields. Preference is given to candidates with prestigious prior experience and a commitment to a longer internship duration of 2-3 months. For shorter 1-month placements, roles generally focus on business or a combination of business and finance. Fintech companies are more open to international interns, and many finance roles can be performed in English. Common tasks include financial and market research, data analysis, and involvement in strategic business activities.
Note: Placements in Accounting/Auditing, Investment Banking & VC/PE are quite limited due to extremely high competition.
