Bank with Best Summer Internship Experience (Socially)

I couldn't find any good threads about this. By socially, I am asking which firm(s) give their interns a great experience outside of the work? (sporting events, dinners, anything along those lines) Any insight from those already working in IB or those with IB internship experience would be appreciated. Thanks!

I've heard Guggenheim rents out a boat for interns on one of the nights of the SA program

 

Whoever hit me with MS is fucking stupid. interned for DB last summer and i distinctly recall being on a boat

 

So does this happen before or after the ass fucking from the staffer...or is it sandwiched in between??

 

Yep can confirm as well. Feel bad for this year's interns who're working virtually and missing the experience haha

 

The thought of DB making its interns do a dunkin donut eating contest while other banks take their kids to private islands etc made me choke on my drink.

This is where being a Summer Associate was sick: some stuff was for all summers, but Associates got additional events and always first dibs on one-offs with partners. Among me and the boys from school: multiple games in crazy suites, firm parties on rooftops and rooftop bars, firm party at huge estate in CT, Hamptons trips, class LV trip with tables sponsored (not by the bank, you can prob figure out the company who sponsored), plus a lot of dinners and clubs in smaller groups. Kid in my banking class booked a blade walking out of his offer interview to celebrate.

Party doesn't stop either - at least for the 2nd year MBA -you take your 50-70k signing bonus and literally party for a year on every continent. It is not real life - grades don't matter and everyone is down to travel and party, and has the money to do it too.

damn I miss MBA

 

Honestly, I don't plan on leaving IB and got into it our of undergrad already, but multiple people have encourage me to get an MBA because its so much fun and they said that its literally worth the cost.
