L'Oreal Marketing vs Business at Tech Giant vs Big 4 Advisory
Hey Guys,
As the title suggests, I have a few offers to intern at this summer- one being at L'Oreal for Marketing (I'm not a marketing major, but was told by a bunch of people I talked to that it was a premier program and good for FT opps), the next in a business function at a tech giant that the avg peson knows, and last in Risk Advisory at one of the big 4.
I've done a number of internships, and struck out in interviews when it came to MBB for this summer, so I'm looking for the best way to position myself for FT.
Could someone comment on what would be the best out of these if my goal is purely to go into consulting FT?
bump pls
My other half has been at L'Oreal for quite a few years now after joining via an internship program. Former interns do get a higher selection for FT offers afterwards and, from what I've heard, it is an excellent program. L'Oreal has a lot more than just the products we know and their innovation agenda seems sustainable.
L'Oreal has internal strategy and consulting departments and, if that is not something you like, you can gain entry to a consultancy afterwards. (I can recognize the broad skill set some of their employees have and would see no issue hiring them into my own team in another company/consultancy).
this really helped, thanks!
Business at tech giant will set you up best for FT MBB recruiting in my opinion. I would guess it will also pay the best if you end up there for FT.
What sort of business role is it?
I don't want to go too much into detail into it for anonymity purpose, but essentially you get placed in one function of their business for the summer- this is what worries me, bc it can be anything from finance to random projects like HR and the sort
really solid name though, so i suppose from a resume perspective it'd still be the best
Doesn't really help us if you can't at least further specify the role or company (e.g. fortune 100/500/1000, industry within tech). I assume that its just some kind of generic leadership development program, but you should be able to strongly stress to HR or your recruiter what role you want to be in.
At this point, it seems like for FT MBB you're going to take a slight "hit" for a less relevant work experience for being out of "consulting" (naturally a finance or harder business role will look better than HR), but after that it really boils down to brand name and impact that you had while you were there. All of your options seem like great opportunities and as long as you network and prep well over the summer MBB and other tier 2's are still definitely within reach.
You should also consider these opportunities in terms of FT opportunities should everything else fall through after senior year (It'll be a good way to set yourself apart from other MBA candidates if you work at "L'Oreal internal strategy" rather than just "big 4 advisory".
You won't go wrong with either of the first two - I wouldn't go with Risk.
It seems you're leaning toward Tech based on who it is and what you might be doing. Go with it. From what I remember, you've had multiple business-oriented internships already. Even if it's HR, I'm guessing you'd be doing something that would be transformation or analytics related, which might fit neatly into a Human Capital spin.
