monday and tuesday were incredibly frusterating days in the office. The internet is very weak here and the power goes out a few times a day. The projects I have been assigned are very interesting and challenging but very internet intensive. It's pretty hard to do a research based project with no means for research. although soccer after work has been awesome and the food has been unreal, i have taken another internship in Bangalore and will leave in the morning. It's the financial capital of india and should be pretty cool. the trip there will be very rough, traveling in india is incredibly uncomfortable.
i had hoped that since mimo is a new MFI that i would be able to make substantial contributions to their foundation. instead they were just incredibly disorganized and unprepared for even one intern, much less the 15 that are here. i wont go into much detail about why i am leaving, if youd like more just email me. i came here here to do work and to learn, and i have done that on my travels so far, but mimo has nothing to offer.
im headed to peakalpha based in bangalore, an investmen management company. i have developed a mini network in india from trying to find an internship in the fall and shot out a few emails to some companies I have talked to and liked. I had a new job within hours, it was pretty awesome. the guy i will be working under got his mba from wharton and i already have a pretty cool assignment. I'm headed over to tell the senior mngmt that im leaving tomorrow, not sure how thats going to go. ill write more when i arrive. the power just went out, awesome.
i miss you guys, hope everything is going well.
love,
matt
