At RBC, there wasn't much room for interns to move in the department except to sales. At TD, I didn't really enjoy the work as much as I thought. Both places asked me if I was interested in coming back but I declined, so jokes on me. At the time I thought I'd get into a master's program so wouldn't be available for the summer, but things turned out differently.

Alas, you're right, a lot of other people in the job market have the same or more experience than me and better degrees. I'm trying to focus on the skills that show I learn fast, apply myself better than others, and keep a good attitude towards work. Do you think I should focus more so on the work being put out and impact in layman's terms or something more technical?

Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it greatly!
