A few months ago we featured a day-in-the-life profile of Kendall Herbst, a first-year student at MIT Sloan's School of Management.
We recently caught up with her again, and she offered to share with us some of the coolest internships her peers landed for this summer.
"In the fall, banking and consulting recruitment begins, luring in interested parties along with risk-averse people who want to secure a prestigious spot early on," she told us. "Then comes tech companies like Google, Samsung and Facebook. Finally, my two primary fields of interest, startups and the luxury industry, start to trickle in. It's certainly stressful to have to wait until spring to recruit. But all of these industries come with their own blood-pressure-raising aspects."
