What did your typical week at zeb look like?

My week was a typical consultant week: packing my suitcase on Sunday evening, traveling to the client’s by train on Monday morning and working there until Thursday. On Thursday evening, I returned home and Friday was my office day

Antonie

Embedded Research | Working Student

What does a typical week look like for you?

Unlike in consulting, I hardly have to travel at all, which I really appreciate, since I have just moved to Münster and first want to settle down here. My tasks are highly varied, I work on larger projects such as designing a new pricing strategy for a bank, but also frequently on smaller market analyses or the further development of our market models.

There were no boring, “typical intern tasks”, which meant that I never felt like a “fifth wheel on the wagon”.
