It was very interactive, constantly meeting partners or sitting in on calls. Learned a lot about how business work, and different roles within an organization.
What I wish was different
I wish the job had been more centered around my MIS major. You didn't necessarily need a business degree to have this position, although it was definitely helpful.
Advice
Try to stay as organized as possible. Things move very quickly and there is always a different event going on that you need to be aware of and prepared for.
