“The experience I got from externships made the biggest difference in launching my career”
Devan Horn
The externship experience gave me hands-on exposure to real-world investment analysis and sharpened how I present financial insights at a professional level. The company and I stayed in contact and I was later offered the opportunity to join the team and I took it.
Currently:
Venture Capital Analyst intern at Mangusta Capital
Gevans Gabeau
In my Capital One interview, they asked what I was doing to grow professionally, and I immediately drew back on my externship experience. Everyone wants you to have experience before you can even get an internship, and Extern was what helped me break through that barrier.
Currently:
