2025 Intern | NUS Masters in Statistics and Finance
"My four-month internship at STARR has been an incredibly valuable learning experience. As a graduate student majoring in Finance, I had the opportunity to apply the financial knowledge I gained in the classroom to real-world scenarios, gaining deeper insights into the operations of the insurance industry and the design of insurance products.
In addition, I came to deeply appreciate the importance of cross-departmental collaboration in driving business forward. I received tremendous support and guidance from my mentor and colleagues, which allowed me to keep learning and growing throughout the internship. This experience has not only enhanced my professional skillset but also helped me gain greater clarity about my future career path."

Tang Pei Qi
2020 Intern | Singapore Poly
" During the 22 weeks, I actually learnt a lot on how a finance company works. They offer a variation of trainings and meetings for us to attend as interns so I am glad to have such opportunities to hone my knowledge and skills. The agency's environment is very friendly and cosy. You can speak to anybody and there is no very firm hierarchy which I think is good as we are able to open up a little bit more. I would like to thank the people who have provided me with guidance, care and the patience they have towards an intern. I feel that as an events student, being in a finance company, I learnt a lot more than what my diploma can offer. So now I have events and finance knowledge as well. "

We tolerate one another when we make mistakes, especially the interns.

Overall, this internship was very beneficial to me as I felt that I was doing meaningful work and making a contribution to the company's growth. I also had a keen understanding of why I did the things I did, and a greater appreciation of how the financial services sector operates. "
Tan Sze Xuan
2016 Intern
" I would like to take this opportunity to express my deepest gratitude to my Manager, who in spite being extraordinarily busy with her duties, took time out to hear, guide and keep me on the correct path during my internship period. I also learned a lot about event organizing through helping out at the Star Interns Challenge. "
Pang Hui Ling
2015 | SIM Intern
" The internship with Julian has a great impact on me as I have gained and learned a lot from him. He is always ready to share and guide us, which helps in our personal growth. The vibrant culture and friendly colleagues make the work even more enjoyable. I signed up for GE's Budding Entrepreneur Scheme as a part-time Financial Consultant while I continued with my degree studies in SIM. The scheme is unique such that it gave me a head-start in my career. With the knowledge and skills I learned from the job, it has widened my perspectives which was also helpful in my studies. Upon graduation, I have the advantage of a smooth transition into the career as a full-time consultant. "
Tan Xiang Xiang
2015 Intern | Temasek Poly
" I enjoyed the flexibility and responsibility given to me as an intern. The hands-on work assignments gave me exposure to the real life business environment and especially the importance of financial planning. After I graduated from TP, I joined Julian Lee & Associates (SWA) as a Financial Consultant, a decision I never regretted. This career brings out the best in me with constant self-development and unimaginative breakthrough that I have experienced. I am now able to take on different challenges confidently and positively and am happy with this meaningful job that is able to help other with their financial needs."
