Junior internship decision
Hi everyone! So far I have two possible summer plans (Student at target, GPA~3.50)
1) working at Alvarez & Marsal's public sector division under practice operations (Finance, Marketing, HR, IT, Knowledge Management, etc.) fom mid-June to late August
2) working at an IB boutique (unpaid) in New York for 6 weeks then a risk management program/ consulting firm for 8 weeks. The company is quite big (with around 15 offices around the world) and is probably only famous in the risk management industry. The job requires me to do financial forecasting and research on financial default for various models, among other things.
I don't know what I want to do in the long run yet. I know I don't want to do IB (but it would be nice to try it out for 6 weeks) and I don't think risk management is something I will be interested in doing (but the internship offers good skills). I think I want to go into consulting after graduation, but as you can see, the job is not exactly "consulting".
What should I do?
Thank you for reading!
The Alvarez Marsal position is back office so you won't really gain any handy skills for Consulting. The 2nd option sounds better but if money is an issue then go with the first.
The 2nd option will give you better exposure that you can talk about in interviews for FT as well.
Go with the IB Boutique. Network a ton in NY and it sounds like your work will be much more relevant.
