Companies pay Fortune a fairly exorbitant amount (in the 6 figure range, some might say a fortune...ha ha) to even be considered.Andy Birchnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2569772432953120875.post-61985801595828497582010-08-29T08:45:23.226-04:002010-08-29T08:45:23.226-04:00James,

It was an interesting project (and, frankly, it would not have happened if we had not had a grad student with Nimalan's skills...).<br /><br />I certainly do hope that SAS opens up an internship program. It used to surprise me how well our students do in the various due diligence, terrorist financing and other financially focused investigative positions, but no more. Even though we don't focus on a business specific skill set, the tools we give our students must be useful in these environments as they all seem to do quite well.<br /><br />If you do open up a program, please let me know as I am certain I would have some students eager to compete for those positions.<br /><br />KrisKristan J.

With a growing Fraud & Financial Crimes Practice perhaps we can improve our score with some future internship programs!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
