After working for 5 months at Inner Circle, I can say that I feel lucky to have found this company
where to do an internship. I felt welcome and at home.
Every day I was happy about having to go to work and being with my colleagues. Everyone created
an environment in which I felt comfortable and in which I had the opportunity to have fun.
In addition to my colleagues, the activities organised by the company also helped me to feel more
part of the group. For example, every Tuesday, sports were organised. In addition to that, every
Thursday office drinks were organised, during which there were activities to establish relationships
with colleagues. Having had the opportunity to be part of this company helped me not to be scared
about what my future would be. I have always been afraid of the idea of having to start work because
I always associated it with a serious environment where there is no room for fun. I was afraid of
finding myself imprisoned in what I always saw as the line of life, if you want to call it that.
First you study and then you have to find a serious job around which everything revolves.
This linear idea of mine has always put me in a situation of anxiety for fear of being forced into an
environment in which I am not comfortable. This company, however, has made me realise that this is
not the only truth. There is the possibility to find a job that can make you feel satisfied with yourself
and your career path at the same time. It was a learning experience also from the point of view of the
help one can get from the experience of their colleagues. At the moment, I am struggling to choose
what to do in the future and, in particular, to try to figure out what master to do next school year.
Having established a friendly relationship with most of my colleagues has given me the opportunity
to share with them my ideas and uncertainties. They advised me with what they had learnt during
their personal path. I am still not completely sure what my future will be and what I would like to
specialise in. What my colleagues have helped me understand is that not having clear ideas is not a
problem. I do not necessarily have to decide now and there is no need to keep that line too straight.
