It was not legal for me to work

Personal spending habits

I travel alot more here in Europe than at home because I am busier at home in school. also, the phone was much more expensive here because my mother pays for it in the states. I spend less on food here because it is cheaper and I live in SF in the states which has outrageously high living costs including things like rent.

Telephone, Travel:

was more expensive than at home.

Nightlife, Overall:

was the same price as at home.

Personal comments

Use discount fliers when going out and don´t drink too much when you go out. Get a bottle of cava which can be as cheap as 2 € if you want to do a littkle pre going out socializing. Sometimes sitting at a cafe can be just as fun as going out and alot cheaper. Travelling is expensive but overall I find no real surprises. Shopping is also a big bank account killer.

Personal spending habits

Well, the occasions to party in Barcelona are numerous, and you can't refuse ! It's the perfect way to meet people, talk and improve your language skills. I had no telephone in my appartment, so I had to call from a telephone booth which is rather expensive. Since I was leaving with my parents before going to BCN, and that my parents paid my rent for my BCN appartment, the question was not easy to answer.

First and foremost, the conversion of American dollars to euros results in Europe being a more expensive place to live.

REVIEWS BY INTERNS AT Universitat Pompeu Fabra

Buena experiencia

Mi función consistía en: - Elaboración de campañas de marketing digital (GoogleAds, Facebook Ads, Instagram Ads, LinkedIn Ads). - Seguimiento de campañas, reporting y analíticas semanales y mensuales (Google Analytics, ActiveCampaign, etc).

Ambiente familiar

Empresa multinacional pero con un ambiente muy familiar y cercano entre compañeros de trabajo. Desde el primer día te dan mucha autonomía, flexibilidad y mucho soporte en cualquier duda que se pueda presentar. Hay bastante carga de trabajo, pero al poder gestionártelo a tu manera, resulta retador y muy dinámico. Mucho trabajo en equipo e interacción no solo con tu equipo de trabajo sino con toda la oficina.

Audit Junior

This internship allowed me to look into different firm sections, bringing me a solid fundamentals to start developing my career.

few things to do

I was put in every branch, however there were not many tasks for me to fulfill. It was monotonous and not really challenging.
