There is no typical day in the life of an FTI intern. The nature of the work of the Forensic and Litigation Consulting division makes every day different. One day I might read new complaints, research to see what literature we might base our conclusions on, and discuss the complaint with the director and senior managing director. The next day, I might organize documents, footnote a report, or reconstruct a transaction or a budget based on a contract. Each day I learned something new about FLC. Sometimes it was financial analysis; other days it was how to organize documents so others could access them easily. Like every intern across the country, sometimes I copied or made binders, but I learned how each task plays a vital role in the litigation process. My coworkers, from consultants up to senior managing directors, always took the time to explain the cases I was working on and to answer my questions. My experiences as a summer intern at FTI convinced me to start my career there.

The workload for any given day and the corresponding schedule varied from day to day, week to week, or even month to month. Some of us got involved in a project that lasted the whole summer, while others work on several different ones. Many times the managers working on projects with us would take the whole team out to lunch. Many of us became very close to our team members, making it easy to communicate ideas. My views were taken seriously, and they often times impacted the way the project ran. There were times that may have been stressful, but there was always someone there to lend a hand.
