Help Deciding Between Internship Offers
I'm a sophomore at a semi-target with 2 offers for summer 2023 that expire next week. To be honest, I don't know what exactly I want to do, but I do know that IB isn't it. I interned at an AM firm last summer and liked the work so that's my path for now. Would appreciate some advice from those with experience.
- Prudential Project Management (insurance and based out of Newark)
- Fidelity Asset Management (rotations in equity, fixed income, alternatives, asset allocation and more)
This might be a dumb question, but what is the better/smarter choice for sophomore summer? Leaning towards Fidelity since I've heard buy-side interships are notoriously hard to get, but not sure.
Not a dumb question but the right answer is 100% fidelity.
Agree - I think the internship op is referring to is DISE which if it is, is 1000% the best option.
Yes, it's for DISE. Are you familiar with the program?
Fidelity
Lol, I figured but thanks for your input. I know pay isn't everything but Fidelity is significantly lower
Yes the answer is obvious, but it's not a dumb question bc when you're early in undergrad it's often not easy to tell these things.
Unless you do your research, it's not really immediately apparent that buyside equity research is such an amazing thing to be able to do out of undergrad.
I go to a school where IB is heavily encouraged so I don't know much about buyside roles, but is the earning potential on par with IB given that there is more work life balance?
