Lukas Schneider’s Singapore Internship

How do I get an internship in singapore ?

If you are a Singaporean, then you just ask. There are only so many banks, investment banks, financial credit houses in Singapore (all of which are registered at the Monetary Authority of Singapore with a phone number on the website). Just call the usual suspects… DBS, UOB, OUB, OCBC, Kim Eng, GK Goh, Philips, SIAS, CLSA, UBS, Merrill, Nomura, HSBC, Deutsche, DMG, Credit Suisse, Goldman, Maquarie et cetera.

If you are not a Singaporean (or have PR status), your chances of an intership are close to zero. First, Trying to get a work visa for someone to work for a short period of time is difficult and you would have to prove that you offer something that no other Singaporean can. Secondly, internships are golden and unless you have the connections… your chances are low. I only know one guy who beat the odds and he was an Indian guy studying in Singapore who got #1 grades at Uni and was smarter than anybody I know.

You never know though… sometimes good things happen when you ask nicely. Good luck
