I’m starting my first Big 4 audit internship this summer, and I’m honestly a little nervous. My biggest goal is to earn a return offer. Everyone keeps telling me that networking is really important, but I’m pretty introverted and don’t want to come across as forcing coffee chats just for the sake of it.

For those of you who’ve been through a Big 4 internship:
- About how many people did you network with during a 6-week internship?
- How many coffee chats would you say is “enough”?
- Is it better to focus on building a few genuine relationships, or should I try to meet as many people as possible?
- Any tips for an introvert on making a good impression without feeling awkward?
