My Internship at Pennebaker

Today I continued my work on the private equity firm research Mr. Byrd gave me. I’ve been widening my research a little bit more as Mr. Byrd has given me more material to work with: namely, Houston business and money journals. It’s very interesting to explore the diversity of private equity firms in Houston both by name and objective. I honestly never knew how diverse the private equity sector was. It’s interesting with what I’ve been reading about in Economics; this kind of thing happens every day. I’m enjoying learning about all of this!

Today I arrived all excited about the snow that we were expecting later in the night. Mr. Byrd wasn’t there while I worked so I went ahead and started working on my own. I got through a solid two and a half private equity companies of research while also interacting with the employees who worked as late as I did. I feel really happy making friends here and I’m only feeling more that I would love to have a job here. Reading about all of these private equity firms based in Houston also gives me this sense of just how big and profitable the city is. It’s really cool.

It’s my first day back and I’ve had a great time! It was good to see the friends I’ve made again and it was so fun to jump back into the work. They started me off putting contact info into their contact engine from business cards. It was easy work but I was happy to be doing it. After I finished that I moved on to researching private equity firms in Houston, a large task that will take me many days to complete. As I said before it’s really good to be back. This would really be a place I’d love to have a job at but right now I’m happy as the intern.
