Internship with nothing to do
I’m a week into my SA at an EB
There’s hardly been anything for me to do - to the point where my analyst has been recommending I just read the FT/ do some independent learning.
I’m eager to get stuck in, but have been mostly doing like 2/3 hours max of actual work a day.
I’m worries this hurts my chances of converting as I’m not being seen to actually contribute to anything.
How should I deal with this?
Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some strategies to deal with having little to do during your Summer Analyst (SA) internship at an Elite Boutique (EB):
Proactively Seek Work:
Independent Learning:
Network Within the Firm:
Document Your Contributions:
Maintain a Positive Attitude:
By taking these steps, you can make the most of your downtime and demonstrate your commitment and eagerness to contribute, which can positively impact your chances of converting the internship into a full-time offer.

Have you mentioned this to anyone in your team? What did they say
mentioned it to my analyst and said work ebbs and flows because the team is so lean. Didn’t give much advice - he said he also has days where he’s just sat around reading the FT
