Paid Internships in China: Finance, Investment & Banking

finance internship in Shanghai was a wild ride and honestly it’s smartest thing i have done for my career. I landed in investment firm and the second week i got practical work to do and threw me at the real market analysis and clients reports. supervisor there toke time to walk me through the team and GAC handled all the annoying stuff, like my visa and the apartment (which was actually pretty nice and super close to the office), so I didn’t have to stress about that. I came home with a way stronger resume and a big boost in confidence.

I worked directly on live deals, financial modeling, and client due diligence, gaining experience that transcends textbooks. Go Abroad China provided seamless logistical support—from Z-visa sponsorship to professional housing—allowing me to focus entirely on performance and networking. This internship was more than a resume line; it was a career accelerator that provided the skills, confidence, and professional references essential for breaking into competitive finance roles.

I joined Go Abroad China internship program for 4 month in 2016, and initially, I wasn’t sure what to expect, I have heard lots of other students’ experiences from Gooverseas, and all of them were positive, but I wasn’t sure how I would handle being that far away from home. After spend one month in china with Go Abroad China, the GAC group really become a family. Throughout the experience, we got to immerse ourselves into the Chinese culture. I feel like on my internship I had enough time in my work, and during my weekend, GAC gave me plenty of time to explore. The Chinese classes were very interesting, and my favorite part was getting to see so much of China through an academic eye, and really getting to understand the Chinese culture. GoAbroadChina internship was a life changing experience which can't be rivaled by any other program. I would like to save some money and go back to China again in the next year.
