U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission

Summer Intern for the Division of Clearing and Risk

June - August 2018 • Washington, DC

What I liked

I learned a ton and they gave me so much responsibility. I had a lot of freedom to choose my projects and I ended up spending my days rearching blockchain, Bitcoin, and distributed ledge technology so that I became the go to person for questions and concerns for new proposals.

What I wish was different

I wish I had made some money. It was incredibly difficult working a 40 hour week plus a side job for cash. I was lucky to be working in my home city though.

Advice

Go to every single meeting they’ll let you sit in on. Ask if you can. Ask for new projects from people around the office.
