which summer to take for FT BB IBD?

Hey all,

I'm trying to get to a BB FT, coming from a semi-target. I'm confident that I'll be able to get interviews in the fall through networking, but I was wondering what summer experience would be best for FT recruiting.

Right now I'm looking at: RBS/RBC, Jefferies, BlackRock, decent MM boutique for IBD.

I assume BlackRock's out of the question (the rest of my options are IBD) because an IBD internship would be the most relevant for BB FT.

Thanks for the help!

PAG for BlackRock.

I've heard from people in the field that for FT IBD, I'd most definitely want to get an IBD summer internship. Would a boutique offer a better experience, assuming they have decent dealflow, because I'd be one of maybe two interns (or maybe the only intern)? Also, I've heard RBS IBD is not doing as well, but would they be beneath Jefferies?

Thanks
