“When I joined Shamrock, I had a basic understanding of private equity, but this internship provided me with an invaluable opportunity to witness the day-to-day operations of a private equity firm. I must say that I could not have asked for a better learning experience. From day one, everyone has been incredibly friendly, welcoming, and supportive. It was easy to approach anyone with questions or just to have a casual chat about their career journey. As I move forward in my journey, I will always cherish the memories, experiences, and lessons from Shamrock. I am grateful to have had this opportunity early on in my career and could not have hoped for a better experience.”
