I mean, the only thing to aim for that would be better is maybe another (better) MM IBD gig or a BBIBD position- both which are tough to get. I think you could make the argument of wanting to see what it was like working in a different position in a larger environment (stress the move to a larger firm) but decided that you were more interested in advisory type work understanding how companies work and less so in investing/helping individuals.
I did a PWM internship, and I can confidently say it's lame and employers know it's lame. I even had an MD I worked with full time mention that he thought PWM was weak -- I got the job despite the internship, not because of it. I'm not saying it's the worst thing in the world, but it's normally a stepping stone to something like MM IBD, which is very impressive for you to have done as a sophomore (it sounds like).
I would recommend trying to get a corp dev or corp finance position for the summer. That will put you in a better place for full time recruiting IMO.
you should not go from MM IBD to BBPWM...dont get lost in the lust of the BB name...if you are in a non banking/advisory role, it doesnt matter, the MM IBD job is much more impressive and you would be taking a HUGE step backwards.
I don't throw darts at a board. I bet on sure things. Read Sun-tzu, The Art of War. Every battle is won before it is ever fought- GG
I just dont want to risk reneging on the PWM offer since it was through networking.
And I'm not sure if i can find something better for a sophomore summer gig in January / February...
Anymore thoughts on this?
Did you do OCR resume drops yet? BB/MM/elite bouqitue recruiting for OCR kicks off very soon this month so if you still havent passed the deadline yet id recommend you clean up your resume and do it.

Thanks for the advice so far.
