“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.
