I'm a sophomore at a target, I got offered a equity mutual fund, that runs about $2bn in their family of funds, internship for the summer. The fund I would work for would be about $500M-1BN.
My goal is to get a BB/elite boutique IBD internship next summer, I was wondering if it's a good idea to take the position or try to find a boutique bank to take me in?

Get instant access to lessons taught by experienced private equity pros and bulge bracket investment bankers including financial statement modeling, DCF, M&A, LBO, Comps and Excel Modeling.
Take the offer, continue looking and then neg it. It's not worth throwing away, especially in this market.
Take it for now. Learn as much as you can (i.e. modeling and such). This should position you well for next summer
but isn't the experience required in the investment banking industry different from what you will gain in the mutual fund, money managing industry? but considering the current job market and the size of the fund (big enough for a starter), I think you should take it!
