Big 4 Offer for Sophomore - Finance and accounting major
yo guys I am a sophomore finance and accounting major at a business school that ranks in the bottom half of the top 100. I have also just completed a 6 month finance/accounting co-op with Johnson and Johnson.
I recently attending E&Y's Emerging Leaders Program and was offered an internship in assurance-external audit.. They are letting me choose if I want to take the internship in the Summer 2012 or Summer 2013... I am set to graduate in the Summer of 2014 with 150 credits.
What would you advise I take? I am a little worried about this internship because I have a strong interest in finance, more than accounting, but I am hoping the audit experience could lead to a position in advisory or transactional services. Could this be true?
I was told if I would want advisory I would have to take a 2nd round interview that consisted of a written portion and case study. Should I have went for it?
Thanks for all the help!

Take the internship for summer 2012. That's your actual sophomore summer, it's typical to refer to the summer as the school year you just finished, so if you're class of 2014 this would be considered your freshman summer.
If you get Big 4 (and yes, you should chase advisory over audit) as a sophomore, you will have no real trouble parlaying that to IBD interviews for your junior summer, particularly given the brand names you have with the F100 and Big 4 firms on your resume so early.
Thank you very much for the replies. Do you think I will not stand as good of a chance of being offered a job if I do it summer 2012 because I will still be two years away from graduating?
Just do big 4 2012 try for transaction services. do a IB SA 2013 you will have a good shot for FT recruiting.
why is this hard to figure out? stop posting the same thread.
