Sophomore interested in Management Consulting (MBB, S&, EYP) - Internship Decision
I am a sophomore interested in Management Consulting as a full time job. I have IB experience from my freshman summer internship and am heavily involved in my school's consulting group.
I have two offers for my sophomore internship:
1. Elevance Health - Business Analyst (Strategy and Planning Team - Work with CEO on live engagements)
2. William Blair - Private Wealth Management Intern
Which internship will put me in the best position for my junior recruiting season? (Looking to apply to MBB, Big 4, S&, EYP)
Hi Milo_Daddy123, any of these discussions helpful:
More suggestions...
I hope those threads give you a bit more insight.
Option 1, MBB cares about what you did impact wise and what you described sounds interesting to talk about in interviews. The only circumstance I would ever recommend PWM is for a freshman at a nontarget for an in-semester internship.
Agreed. MBB recruiting cares a lot about your school and impact. If you go to a target, you don't need WB on your resume especially if you have IB experience freshman year. You've proven you can work like a monkey under pressure, and taking Option 1 will show that you can also think outside the box and adopt an 'advisor' role, if you frame it that way in interviews.
Appreciate the help
Appreciate it dude
It doesn't matter which one you pick. Landing an MBB offer requires you to have a great GPA, show leadership outside the classroom and impact in either one of these internships, but also has a lot to do with networking, your personality, and how strong you are at casing (most important). I did an internship at a top BB but was not even specifically asked about that in any interview and got offers to two of the MBB, which were based primarily on casing strength, personality, and some common behavioral questions (my top BB internship had very little if anything to do with me receiving an offer in my opinion). Rather, be able to have great stories to talk about where you were a leader and made an impact - it does not matter much where.
Why did you decide to swap from BB to MBB? I am incoming SA and considering the swap.
