Frankfurt
Hi Grégoire,
Astorg’s Off-Cycle Intern brief looks especially focused on Advanced Excel and clear early evidence that the candidate can speak to Relevant Finance Background credibly.
That is the part of the seat I would lean into first, and I would be happy to send a concise CV version tailored around Advanced Excel if useful.
If you are the right person to ask, I would value a quick steer on whether that is the kind of signal your team looks for early on in Off-Cycle Intern hires.
Best,
Candidate
