Private Credit Internship (NYC/LA/Houston) vs. UBS WM Ops Internship (Nashville) — need advice
Rising senior here, finance & econ double major, trying to decide between two internship offers for this summer and would really appreciate some perspective from people who know these paths better than I do.
Option 1: UBS Wealth Management Operations — Nashville
Back-office/ops role at a major wirehouse. Solid brand name, but I know ops isn’t exactly the sexiest seat and I’m not sure how much it moves the needle long-term.
Option 2: Private Credit — larger metro (NYC, LA, or Houston TBD)
Direct private credit exposure, underwriting, deal flow, the actual investing side. Obviously, a bigger life lift moving to a major city for the summer, but the role itself seems more directly relevant to where I want to go.
This is my last summer before entering the workforce, so I’m thinking hard about how each of these sets me up post-grad, not just as a resume line but in terms of actual doors opened.
My gut says private credit is the obvious answer, but wanted a gut check. Is the UBS brand worth anything here, or does the ops label kill it regardless? And does private credit at a mid sized company actually open doors or is it too niche?
Appreciate any input.
Dude, come on, man. I feel like this is a no brainer. Not only is PC aligned with what you want to do, but UBS isn't even the right place to go if you want name value (Source: worked at UBS, back office is a bureaucratic nightmare with no redeeming qualities and high turnover). I know plenty of people who did PC internships that moved to LF seats FT.
It could be GS ops, BX ops, and the answer wouldn't change. go to the front office internship
