F500 Corp. Fin vs. Big 4 Sophomore Internship? (Advice Needed)
I am a sophomore at a top 5 business school and I am deciding between two internship offers. I can't choose between them so it would be greatly appreciated if as many of you could give me advice.
I am interested in consulting/finance and would like to work at the top of a fortune 500's Finance department in the long term.
Internship 1 (4-7 weeks): Big 4 Diversity Program for rising juniors focused on training minority students for careers in accounting/advisory, mostly accounting focused. This internship is mostly training and does not involve much hands-on work. I've heard it's basically just the firm's way to show their diversity. However, this program guarantees a client-facing internship offer for the next year (Tax, Assurance, or Advisory).
Internship 2 (12 weeks): Corporate Finance Internship at a Fortune 500. This internship is a Financial Planning & Analysis internship and will involve more hands-on work than the first one. I feel like I would learn a lot more but the company's name is not as prestigious as the Big 4 firm. Also, this internship is more similar to what i want to do further into the future.
Which internship would set me up better for my career? This is my first internship so it is definitely a very important decision.
It would be greatly appreciated if as many of you could give me your thoughts, thanks!!!
The one where you're doing actual work that many associates and seniors in audit and advisory at a big 4 would kill for.
The F500, this is easy. You will be able to get a junior year internship w/ the f500 experience in audit or advisory if you have a burning desire to be at a big 4 for some reason.
