Q is an intern in the publishing industry. During her 1.5 years in the industry, she's jumped back and forth between publishing houses and literary agencies. She has copyedited, filed contracts, drafted reader's reports, filtered unsolicited submissions, tracked foreign rights sales, and worked on the manufacturing side. Q's work outfits consist of cardigans, striped shirts, skinny black pants, and an indigo scarf. On Fridays, she wears jeans. (M: Whoopie for you.) She gets paid in books that she doesn't have time to read but hoards like crazy, petting them on their spines and muttering "My precious." Q lives in a converted living room in an East Village one-bedroom apartment with three other suitemates.
M is an intern in the financial industry. For 2 years, she's worked various jobs in the industry, and has finally settled into an internship in the back office. Back office work is a departure from the high octane, sleepless lifestyle of front office representatives such as investment bankers. Instead, M and her fellow coworkers document trades, track expenses, build new technology, write company policies, and parlay with regulators. M's daily uniform consists of neatly pressed suits and sample sale dresses in a variety of neutral colors. She lives in an unassuming town in New Jersey with her parents and dog.
