BB middle-office or Big 4 valuation
Hey, I am in a dilemma as recently I got two internship offers and I cannot decide.
-
Citi Finance Analyst Program (Middle-office: Valuation Control, Market Control, Risk,Treasury)- 2years
-
Pros: IB Brand
-
Cons: No direct IB/front-office experience
-
-
EY Valuation Internship (Financial Accounting Advisory Services) - 1 year
-
Pros: Strong valuation skills, which are relevant for IB
-
Cons: less prestige for later IB
-
(After any of these I plan to do a Master in Finance)
Which one I should take, Citi middle-office rotation or EY Valuation?
IMO EY valuation > middle office. It’s hard to move from MO to FO but I think valuation is a tried and tested path to IB.
I'm ex-EY valuation. That group does not sit within FAAS...
My 2 cents:
-If you are considering a Masters, both programs are way too long, aim for shorter off-cycle internships at smaller banks/boutiques instead
-Don't to Middle/Back-Office if you want to land in Front Office
-EY Valuation team sits within the Strategy & Transactions Service line and not within FAAS. Better double check your offer
Being within Strat and transactions would def be preferable though right?
