Developing countries

The other day a friend of mine, who is doing her MBA in the United Kingdom, was telling me all about how difficult it is to get an internship in the financial sector these days. I was kind of surprised when she mentioned this because, to be honest, I had not given a lot of thought to the correlation between the crisis and the job/internship search process until that moment. As crazy as it may sound, I knew about the crisis (I mean, who wouldn’t? It’s all over the news!), for me it was more like one of those things that you know are out there but which don’t affect your life directly. When I realized this, I told my friend that the crisis was not having such a strong effect in Colombia, because even though people were talking about it almost everywhere, I had not really heard about anyone getting laid off or not being able to find a job… or at least not more than usual.
