I'm an undergrad in a target school. I'm currently studying Commerce with Chinese. However I need your recommendations on what would stand out / be preferred by IB recruiters.
- Take 1 year studying in Shanghai.
- 1 year internship at an IB in London. Plus I can also take 3 months exchange in either Canada, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong , Netherlands , France, Italy or Spain.
I'm really starting to question whether if Chinese would have much upside opportunity in a career in IB or I should just drop it and focus specialising more in Finance. Thanks.

Chinese if you want to recruit in Mainland China or HK. IB internship if recruiting anywhere outside of Asia.
I am fluent in Chinese and work a normal IB job in the USA and nobody cares / it has no impact in my job.
I'm not interested in working in China. Maybe Singapore but that's more into the future. ATM I just want to focus on grinding up from London then hopefully make a move to US.
"i want to focus on grinding up from london" i think you already know the answer to your question
Studying abroad is a great opportunity and would love to do it. My question though is will the recruiters be more attracted to someone with that abroad experience + language or will they prefer someone with more practical experience i.e work + less abroad experience.
if your goal is IB in london then why would you not go intern for an IB in london and then try and get a return offer, then you are doing IB in london full time, which is the goal right?
I would still be interning in London nevertheless, but it would have to be only the summer programmes if I was to take the year abroad.
