“During the second semester of my junior year (from January to May 2017), I spent four months with BDA Partners Hong Kong as an investment banking intern analyst, where I started my journey in investment banking career and had a lot fun with many memorable first-time experiences, including my first client meeting, first live M&A deal, first BBQ with colleagues, etc.
It was a rewarding and fruitful four-month journey.
Besides the project, I also assisted with other pitches, research and attended quite a few client meetings with managing directors to take notes, which is also one of my favorite parts in the internship.
I have been grateful for the great opportunity, which helps shape me as a dependable, perceptive and detail-oriented professional and gives me a wonderful culture experience.”

MarcPoint initiated the project due to the increasing interest from many vendors on Taobao to understand the current market and its competitors.
