“At a Beyond120 excursion to Macquarie Group Limited’s Jacksonville office, I met great people, learned about the firm, and received an internship offer for their Financial Management Group. This would not have been possible without the help of Beyond120, who provided the opportunity to make connections in person.” – David S., Economics
