What would you do if you had only these internship choices??

If you were an aspiring i-banker but had no other choices except these for junior SA, what would you do?

1.BO/MO role for 70K in BB (GS, JPM, MS)

2.Finance role - I am assuming BO? for 60K in well known Alternative investment fund/PE (i.e: KKR, Apollo, Blackstone)

3.Unpaid internship for IB at a boutique which good dealflow but not big ones (think Rutberg, Pharus, Trinity Capital etc)

  1. Do nothing except network and became a guru at valuations and financial modelling via classes and reading books?
 

you should do #5, sit on your ass all day and contemplate life's many choices.

I don't accept sacrifices and I don't make them. ... If ever the pleasure of one has to be bought by the pain of the other, there better be no trade at all. A trade by which one gains and the other loses is a fraud.
 
ah:
you should do #5, sit on your ass all day and contemplate life's many choices.

Oh damn gurl. This is why I let you sex me up.

Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into SWANSONS.
