Hoping to get some opinions - I'm currently interning in the CF division of a Big 4 accounting firm (more specifically, their valuations team).
In terms of listing the experience down on my resume (hoping to leverage it to get a BB internship offer next), would it be of any advantage to list it as "Valuations", or to just leave it as "corporate finance"?
From what I've heard, the valuations team can sometimes be stuck with some pretty mundane work, however the work I'm currently doing is quite similar and relevant to what someone would be doing as an IB Intern (updating comps, a lot of DCF work etc).
So I guess my question is whether interning with a Big 4 CF Valuations team has any negative or positive associations to it? Or does it not matter at all?
Call it what it is. Don't lie about it, because they won't like it once they see you weren't honest.
Not looking to lie or anything. I guess what it comes down to is whether to put "Corporate Finance" or "Corporate Finance - Valuations" or "Valuations" on the resume.
In the bigger picture, I don't believe it is that big a deal (there are many other things that could/would have a far bigger impact) but it still makes a difference nontheless.
CF at Big 4 implies deals, book running, pitch books. Valuation is 90% accounting BS and 10% consulting. If you say CF you damn well better have been doing deals.
