Exit Survey
 
 
Dear All,

You are kindly asked to participate in this survey since you either currently are an intern or Graduate Fellow at QFI, or accomplished one of these programs in the past.

We would like to learn about your experience with QFI. Your feedback will be used to improve our programs for students and young professionals.

The survey should only take about 15-20 minutes of your time. Your answers are anonymous, and voluntary. You do not have to answer any questions you don’t want to. There are no good or bad answers, they are your opinions that we value very much. Return of an answered survey will indicate your consent to participate in this study.

Thank you!
