Unpaid PWM Internship?

Hey Guys,

I got an offer to interview with a Bank of America Merrill Lynch Branch in San Francisco. The only dilemma is that its unpaid and I am out of state (I live in Texas). Do you guys think it would be worth it to do considering (if I get an offer of course) since this would be my first "finance related internship" (I am a incoming sophomore)? And if so should I actually stick with the SF one or find a BAML branch in Texas to do it?

Any advice/suggestions would be appreciated!

 

You will have to: -Find housing in SF or nearby -Get academic credit through your school or a community college (do the latter, it's cheaper) -Pay for all your food, clothes, etc. -Do all of the above just to have a finance internship only in name on your resume

Worth it? I don't think so.

You should really find a place closer to home so as to cut down on expenses unless you're made of money and none of the aforementioned applies to you.

 

Alright. I'll try to do not more than 10 hrs. Thanks guys.
