I advise first-year MIMS students to start looking for internships early! The applying process can be overwhelming and difficult. Any advice for next years MIMS students as they prepare for their internships? I also took a product management course which prepared me with the basics of what a product manager does. At the I School, I took classes in these domains which made me better understand how I can successfully work with these partners. As a product manager intern, I had to work closely with multiple teams such as design, research, and engineering. The I School prepared me for this role through its interdisciplinary nature. How did your work at the I School prepare you for this role? I was intimidated by the idea, but through practice I gained the confidence to present my projects. I spent many hours trying to make the perfect presentation and prepare to answer their questions. 5 interns got selected to present to the company’s leadership team and I was one of them. My biggest challenge during my internship was presenting my projects to company leadership.

I learned how to identify user problems, communicate with design to get prototypes made, work with research to conduct A/B tests and user research, work with engineers to discuss feasibility of the feature, identify metrics, and write one pagers to present to stakeholders. I had an amazing mentor that walked me through all the stages of rolling out a new product feature. The most valuable thing I learned was how to be a good product manager. What was the most valuable thing you learned at your internship? I also have a mentor that I meet with daily to discuss my progress and get feedback. I usually have a lot of meetings with these teams on Zoom, and I spend a lot of time talking to them via Slack. I worked with research, design, and engineers to complete these projects. In both of these projects, I worked cross functionally. I had 2 projects this summer: improving the “Browse Guidance” user experience, and finding out how the sneaker buying experience on “Browse” pages can be personalized.
I then start to work on my internship projects.
eBay’s intern program has regular intern events such as speakers coming to talk to us and arts and craft activities, so I check my calendar for those that I will be attending.
However, I start my morning checking my emails and looking at my calendar to see what meetings I have for the day. Describe a typical day at your internship.
