Exceptional opportunity, not to be missed! - werkgeversreview Intern bij Mountbatten Program

I was on the MountBatten program for a year and it was the best experience of my life. The MountBatten candidates are very close Nash group who are very social. My full-time role that MountBatten placed me with in Manhattan was flexible and had a great team. If you want to live in New York City, this is the perfect chance and ideal for those wanting to do it on a budget like myself.

I see a lot of negative comments about the MountBatten program but people have to realise that in order to move to The concrete jungle there are sacrifices to be made e.g like sharing a room with a (well-paired!) roommate for six months or earning a little less money than you usually would. If you are truly on this program for the right reasons, you’ll see how valuable it actually really is. In comparison to the other J1 graduates who come to New York with no No accommodation for which they pay $15”” a month, they have to find a job within 90 days in their field, which none of them these days because the market is so competitive. needless to add that if you’re going with another Visa sponsorship company, it costs around thousand dollars to do acquire a Visa. The MB sorts all this for you, so I couldn’t recommend it enough.

Unbeatable experience in New York. They sort visa and all the hard stuff so its a lot easier for people to move over.

Not enough money every month, they haven't updated the stipend in line with inflation levels. Communal living can be annoying if you have to share a room.
