Would a junior summer internship in economic consulting or real estate private equity set me up for a better shot at MBB?
Hello all,
I have just received two offers for summer internships.
1) A well known, typically top 5, econ consulting firm in their antitrust & competition division. 2) A real estate private equity firm with $15 billion of raised equity.
I understand other factors will be put into play such as GPA, networking, etc. But I just wanted to hear your thoughts on what you all feel would be the better choice.
Where is the RE PE firm located?
I would think the relevant experience in consulting will apply more to your consulting case studies and interviews than RE valuation methods
It is located in the Greater Boston Area for reference. I thought the same thing, but just wanted to see other's thoughts.
Depending on the group you want to target at MBB, others might have different thoughts
Can't speak for RE PE but just want to add a data point from my experience: I interned at a reputable econ consulting firm my junior year summer and in my senior year I had no problem getting interviews at MBB & Deloitte (I exclusively applied to these MC firms). I'd imagine an internship at CRA/Analysis/Cornerstone/NERA will easily get you an interview.
That said, the skills you gain in econ consulting (or even RE PE for that matter) will be vastly different from what is needed for a MC case interview, so you'll still need to put in significant efforts to get an offer.
I interned at a non-top 5 econ consulting firm and didn't have a tough time getting interviews. I found that I was able to relate the analysis I did to a lot of my cases and other problems discussed during interviews.
I'd also say econ consulting because of greater probability of name recognition from screeners.
