Diving into Shipping with passionate people, and enjoying after-work mingling

(NO #3) Halfway through their internship, Sania and Ole Martin are on a steep learning curve, diving into Nordea’s shipping business, as they’ve joined the LC&I Nordic Shipping team in Norway. On top of gaining valuable insight from working on live projects, attending client meetings and more, the interns are meeting and mingling with a lot of people from across Nordea – also after work on social gatherings.

Sania and Ole Martin tell all about their experiences as interns in Large Corporates & Institutions (LC&I) Norway, in their blog – the third blog in a series featuring our summer interns in Oslo.

We, Ole Martin & Sania, have been lucky to join the LC&I Nordic Shipping team in Norway, and our time here has been full of new insights and impressions.

We have worked with welcoming and brilliant people on live projects. We cannot go into details about our projects, but tell that we’ve joined our colleagues in meetings with clients and got great insight into how they work from day to day. It is for sure a really exciting and highly valuable experience.

We are currently halfway through our internship at Large Corporates & Institutions (LC&I), and are preparing to present our project to the Nordic Shipping team by the end of our second week with the team. Our time here can be summed up by a remarkable steep learning curve, as we work on two live projects independently.

Passionate people

The Nordic Shipping team is a group of highly skilled and passionate people, who have been instrumental in our progress. Their knowledge and willingness to engage in meaningful discussions with us have been exceptional. Nordea is a major player within shipping which makes it even more exciting and enlightening for us to participate in various deals and informative market meetings.

Midway, we both agree that this internship certainly has been an excellent opportunity for us to listen, learn, and engage in constructive dialogues.

Moving on to our fellow interns, they’re spread out in various departments; Tom Olav and Mina are busy in Debt Capital Markets (DCM), while Sondre and Kristoffer are at Equity Research. They will fill you in on their work and experiences in an upcoming blog.

Informal, inspiring and fun networking

Socially, it’s been great too. We have met with several people from across Nordea, and all of them are very enthusiastic when they talk about their work which is very inspiring.

On Thursday, we attended the weekly afternoon Summer Academy, which is a tailored program for us where a unit comes and tells us about their business area, what they do, how they’re organised etc., over some pizza and cold drinks. This week, we were introduced to the Research & Risk Solutions NO team, and they gave us a fantastic presentation.

Afterwards, we all went out for drinks at a local restaurant, and we were able to network and ask (more) questions as we got introduced to even more Nordea people from across the whole value chain.

After yet another eventful week, we are looking forward to present our projects to the Shipping team, which will be very exciting and fun. We are equally excited to the rest of our internship program, with more opportunities to gain further insight into the different departments and their day-to-day life.
