For summer purposes, it is
For summer purposes, it is what you put into it. Just like education: It is what you put into it and ask questions. Granted not being at upper tier certainly isnt an advantage but you can still learn a lot/understand concepts. Just because their not the best it doesn't mean that they wont be a great footstep. The best traders learn their own concepts and own research. While you wont have time to explore this in a summer it is food your thought. It is what you make it to be. There are probably many people who are working their way up who are intelligent and are looking to jump once they find that success point. Find the ambitious ones and lever them.
You dont need a great mentor to be a great trader, but it certainly helps.
I work for a firm that 999
I work for a firm that 999 out of 1000 people on this board haven't heard of. As a summer intern, there are limits as to what you'll be exposed too. But, soak in everything and learn from the guys that are left. Those who are left still have a lot of knowledge of their area/product and will help you. I was in your shoes when I started and since my firm isn't well known, I was almost shocked when I got an offer for PE (http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/regretting-t... ended up not taking it).
There are no upper limits as to how good you can become, even if your mentors are 'weak'. You are still young and can switch products in the next few years and no one will question you. Just remember that the slum kids in Brazil learn how to play soccer in the streets between cartel shootouts. Some of them will end up earning millions other will die in the streets (I know, bad analogy but the best one I could come up with. Haha.)
Anything is possible. I'm on a horse.
