West Coast F500 Intern Programs
Hey everyone. Just joined
So currently I'm interning in REPE, but next summer I'd like to learn more about corporate finance. I've never been interested in a career in IB, but corp finance/ treasury looks interesting. Next summer I will be a rising senior (econ major) at a liberal arts college, so I am also looking for an internship that can lead to FT.
I've seen the post that lists a bunch of finance programs, but the focus of that list is on post-graduate employment and there is less information on internships, let alone programs in CA.
So can anyone give me some insight into the best/ most well-regarded finance internships with west coast F500s?
I know that GE and J&J are the most well regarded in general, but I am looking mainly at companies with opportunities (& HQ) in California. So far it seems like I should be looking into places like Chevron, Google, Wells Fargo, Apple... Where are the best programs?





Check out all the big tech
Check out all the big tech companies like Oracle, Cisco, Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon, Intel, they should all have corp fin developement programs for graduates straight out of college or junior interns.
What is the typical
What is the typical progression with one of these internships:
FT offer > 2 yr rotational program > MBA?

My friend in Canada did the GE FMP program and afterwards switched into GE Capital and is now attending a top 10 business school in the U.S. The usual path should be
FT offer > 2 year rotational > 2-3 years division as a manager > MBA > ???
Most people pick and work at a division for 2-3 years as a manager after a rotational to take on more responsibility. Realistically, I don't think you would have enough management experience or leadership abilities to do a MBA right after a rotational.
Is there usually flexibility
Is there usually flexibility in division or consequently location? I'd assume most places would want graduates starting out at HQ

Not much literature on the program but they could be worth looking at

I met a few Qualcomm rotationals. Its definitely a great program as you get exposure to what you want (you get to pick which rotations you want to do). They're a vast company with involvement in many fields.
Pay is pretty good too from what I hear.
