Solomon “Solly” Iluyomade is a MaineMBA<\/a> student from London, England. He is spending the summer as a Product Management and Digital Banking intern at Bangor Savings Bank<\/a>.

A 2021 graduate of the Maine Business School, and former 91爆料 basketball player, Solly is now pursuing a MaineMBA in business analytics.<\/p>\n

\"Solly<\/a>Why did you choose to intern at Bangor Savings Bank?<\/h3>\n

I chose to intern at Bangor Savings Bank because it is one of the largest financial institutions in the state of Maine and Northern New England. I wanted the opportunity to utilize my degree in a practical setting. What better environment than at the #2 on Forbes “World Best Banks” list?<\/p>\n

What are you tasked with as an intern?<\/h3>\n

I am overseeing a consumer account product. I’m currently working on a checking account product that targets individuals who are currently unbanked. It is an account that allows them to practice healthy financial habits with several account safeguards. <\/p>\n

What do you like most about your internship?<\/h3>\n

I like the independence that the internship offers. Traditional stereotypes about internships are paper filing, call taking, and grunt work. My experience has been far from it. The work that I am doing is consequential to the consumer and retail-facing functions of the bank.<\/p>\n

What is the biggest challenge you faced during your Bangor Savings Bank internship?<\/h3>\n

The biggest challenge that I faced was managing the independence of the internship with the time management of the internship. A key responsibility with the job means scheduling meetings and planning for and around those meetings. It requires a lot of communication, understanding the purpose and outcomes of what you’re doing, and figuring out the next steps.<\/p>\n

What are something you learned during your internship that you couldn’t have learned in the classroom?<\/h3>\n

The internship has taught me a number of interpersonal skills, such as going out to lunch with new people and developing relationships. Building relationships where you work is huge for your development, career, and team. I like to think I am a social butterfly, but even I found it tough to approach. However, I do believe I have done well in this regard!<\/p>\n

What advice would you share with other MaineMBA students considering an internship?<\/h3>\n

Get into an internship whenever you can. Absorb all you can from your opportunities and learn to say yes to everything even if you’re not 100% sure how to do it. In addition, throw yourself in the deep end because you would rather have an overwhelming amount of experience than an underwhelming amount.<\/p>\n
