I feel like I should also mention that the internship/work experience also depends on the department and team you are working with. I am now consulting in eHealth and Innovation with WHO and really enjoying it. However, I find that I get most excited about the research in this current position, so also feel my passions might be better suited for academia. Luckily, the team I am working with now has progressive views and are highly motivated about eHealth and Innovation, so I think this consultancy is really rewarding 🙂

I also put the WHO on a pedestal but after interning/working for small and large organizations, there is definitely a difference. In fact, its one of the reasons why I don’t view policy/NGOs as a dream career anymore. I now prefer universities and research so advocacy and think tanks are my new favorite things 🙂
