I am deciding between two internship offers with upcoming expirations.
My career goal is to eventually move into Buy-Side Asset Management.
1st Offer: Investment Research Intern for Wealth Management
The company outsources most of its investment research and investment decisions to Investment Managers. Therefore, my main role their would be to research investment managers and decide which funds would be best suited for the clients.
2nd Offer: Corporate Development Intern for TMT Company
My main role would be to find target companies for potential acquisition and create financial models for these companies.
I understand they are very different career paths. Here is my thinking:
For the 1st offer, I would be getting great experience in a setting/industry close to my end-goal. However, I question the lack of relevant experience in terms of day-to-day assignments given that I won't be researching any specific securities.
For the 2nd offer, I understand the industry and the role itself may not give me the best odds to reach my end goal. With that said, I think the financial modeling experience and skill development can be very useful and transferrable to a future investing role. I think I would be able to twist that internship experience in future interviews.
What do you guys think? I know there are so many other factors to consider, so I understand that you may not be able to come to a decision. Any kind of thought will help.
Bump. If someone could help provide some insight, that would be great. This is fairly time sensitive.
I think you’re very much overstating what your actual day to day Role would be in each of these roles. That’s said, I’d have to think option 1 not only closer aligns to what you want but what also allow you better networking with people in the industry.
