I'm a junior at a non-target with a summer internship offer from Boeing. However I was wondering if it would be worthwhile to keep recruiting for other f500 firms like GE that may be considered more prestigious.
What would you do in this situation?

How long do you have to respond to Boeing? Can you finish your GE recruiting before you owe BA an answer?
If you have an offer in hand, why risk it? I doubt to the outside world having interned at GE versus having interned at Boeing is really going to be viewed all that differently to the outside world. The only benefit of interning at GE would be having a chance at getting a return offer. (Assuming GE is your target) That being said, I would assume big companies are basically done recruiting for this summer, except for maybe a few exceptions. Companies like GE and Boeing tend to have hiring complete before Christmas hits.
While GE is without doubt a better program I'd stick with the Boeing gig. Especially since I'm fairly certain GE and most other F500 are done at this point. After interning at Boeing you are gonna be set up nicely come recruiting season as a senior for other F500s, should you not return full time with them.
Thanks everyone for your feedback. I have accepted the offer from Boeing and will see how it goes. I think you're right that this will set me up well for senior recruiting. I was a bit nervous because aerospace is not my intended industry, but I think at the intern level it might not make a big difference. Thanks again for your feedback.
Congrats on accepting your offer at Boeing OP. Don't be nervous, you will definitely have a fun and enriching experience. I interned there last summer and went into full time recruiting and that really helped set up some great recruiting opportunities for senior year.
If you have any questions about the internship please feel free to PM me!
Congrats man. Glad to have helped.
