Big 4 or Chinese Investment Bank for Freshman Summer, Target School Hoping for NYC/HK IBD
I am currently a target school freshman looking into breaking into NYC or HK IBD. I am currently stuck between an offer with Big 4 or doing IBD works with a Chinese BB.
Which one should I pick with the goal of breaking into NYC/HK IBD?
I know Big 4 would have far better name recognition than some random Chinese securities firm for NYC recruiter. Would I rather shoot for relevant experience in a less well-known brand or a less relevant experience with Big 4 brand?
Just to add on, I am currently stuck in Shanghai so both offers are in the Shanghai office.
Which division with Big 4? Tax/audit = joke. What do you mean by Chinese BB? If you are talking about CICC/CITIC/China Securities/Huatai, this should be a no-brainer question. Issues with other Chinese banks are 1) little international recognition, 2) sloppy work for junior interns, 3) most transactions gear towards ECM, and 4)little deal flow. Advise you to look for US opportunities if you want to break into investment banking in US.
