Role: Intern Analyst


The main objective in this job in one sentence: Research data and analyze industries to provide solutions for our clients

A typical day: Starts with checking emails from my supervisor and then do the tasks asked by him, including searching information, interviewing experts and translating powerpoint

Remuneration: Around 150-200RMB (22-30USD) per day

Application process: Consulting companies usually ask you to mail your CV along with other certificates to the company

Cost of living: I live on campus, which is also in Shanghai. So they don’t need to provide accommodation. The only cost will be transportation and meal expenses, which are on myself

Next career step: I’m still studying for my master’s degree. Well, for long-term career plan, I will start with a good investment bank
