I think there are some scams prospective monkeys should be aware of..
After a recent enlightening conversation with a few colleagues regarding shitty internship scams, I decided to post these scam artists..
Please do not waste your time with the following firms and stay away-
Aleutian Capital Partners
Agile Equity
Daroth Capital Advisors
Surprisingly, all these firms (predators?) "recruit" at NYU.
Please feel free to add to this list.

Still not sure if I want to spend the next 30+ years grinding away in corporate finance and the WSO dream chase or look to have enough passive income to live simply and work minimally.

I mean there is no such thing as a bad experience, but I have come across a few of these companies and they have questionable legitimacy. People will disagree with me and say how I might have a sense of entitlement, but my first internship was cold calling so I have been there. I believe the intent behind the internship is what constitutes it as a scam. For instance:
One of the company's business model above is to hire interns to work 40+hours a week unpaid to do the company's work of repackaging deals. They have a team of interns searching for deals, a team doing the writeups, and another team doing the sales. There are only a handful of people on payroll but it seems to fit the definition of a pyramid scheme.
Some people need to get this experience in order for them to get their foot in the door, but it is wrong for the companies to not be forward about their arrangement.

Why is Daroth Capital a scam?
Why is Daroth Capital a scam? It does seem that there is not much about them anywhere, except for their website. There are only two people listed on LinkedIn. I'm curious as to whether this is a legit place to work b/c I think they have a job posting?
