Internship and Places to Go-Wayne Taylor

Interning at Citibank has kept me busy these past weeks. As I mentioned before, I am in the Supply Chain Finance and I am enjoying my team and learning more about the company.

I have been helping my team with numerous projects throughout the months.From collecting and analyzing data to creating illustrative flow charts, I have seen many sides of what it means to be in a global business environment. My colleagues make phone calls to Spain, Sweden, and even Switzerland just to make sure everything is running smoothly. There are  even conference calls or meetings with different teams in different countries.

 I have also learned to take more of an initiative to make sure that I am learning things. If I do not understand the work I am doing, I have learned that it is better to ask many questions and do it right, than to make the same mistake and have to correct the whole task. Also, I really do have a higher appreciation of people that work 9-5 Monday through Friday. The work and life balance is important to maintain, and that balance can be difficult at times.

On an other note, I only have two weeks left in London. I am trying to everything I can to explore London more. I have biked around the city ( I may have been struggling/ holding my bike for the most part), went to the Cambridge vs. Oxford row race,  finally visited the British Museum, and went to Abbey Road. Also, the London Eye at night is beautiful. .However, one of the greatest experiences was going to a pillow fight in Trafalgar Square. And yes, I brought a pillow and things went down and feathers were everywhere.

Cheers for now,

Wayne Taylor
