What kind of divisions should I apply to?

Hey guys,

So I'm doing my applications for off-cycle internships, I have to fill out lots of online forms, give all sorts of information.

Concerning a certain bank (GS), I'm applying to their branches in Paris, London and another city (it's mandatory to speak the language of the country, I know french and english so, might pick a US city for my 3rd choice but it would be a bit of a hassle to move to the US for a 6 month internship). What divisions should I apply to? I can chose a maximum of 3 different divisons, some branches offer all of them, some don't.

There's:

-finance
-Investment banking (this one is in Paris)
-Securities
-Merchant banking (this is london, there's 4 sub-divisions: CORPORATE EQUITY AND CORPORATE DEBT, REAL ESTATE EQUITY AND REAL ESTATE DEBT, INFRASTRUCTURE or GENERAL)
-Investment management

and legal but I don't want to do that plus I don't have the qualifications.

I want to be a high baller later in life, I want to do something exciting, where you have to persevere, where you have to be a "shark" to succeed. What division would best suit me?

What do you think?

Cheers guys

Guys,

I sense sarcasm in this thread lol

I obviously know that Investment banking is the cream of the crop, but it's only available in the Paris branch. I was more or less asking about the other divisions. For example, they're not offering IB in their london branch so I was just wondering what you guys thought of the other divisions.

Is it because I asked if IB is the best division that you guys are reacting like this? Lol I just wanna be sure

cheers
