"My experience with Fitch has been phenomenal. I first joined Fitch as a Summer Analyst (SA) in New York, where I rotated through Structure Finance and U.S. Public Finance in the three-month internship. During that time here, I knew that I wanted to be a credit analyst. The one-year Associate Analyst (AA) program has been a great introduction to the fixed income industry. I appreciate how Fitch partners the AA’s with managers which really made adapting to my team significantly easier, and grasping the fundamentals realizable."
