Hey guys, I'm a Finance sophomore at a semi/non-target looking to go into IB.
I have the opportunity to do one of two internships. The first is for PWM with Morgan Stanley at one of their local offices, the second is with a local 8-person M&A firm.
Should I go with the name recognition or with the M&A role? Thanks in advance!

Take the M&A internship. PWM
Take the M&A internship. PWM -- make sure it's not GWM, but pure PWM. Freshman year should be the PWM these days. Or high school.
For sure go with the M&A
For sure go with the M&A internship. You would rather have relevant experience rather than a big name any day of the week, especially PWM, which people recognize is a joke of an internship.

PWM is a stepping stone for IB internships. Skip it and do M&A
