Help Deciding Soph Internship
Currently at target Ivy (HYP) trying to decide on soph summer internship. Prior boutique IB exp in NYC, ultimately looking for BB SA next year, leaning toward IBD but possibly considering S&T. Missed the boat on soph BB SA recruiting, focused primarily on finding international ops- would love to work abroad and gain international experience in SE Asia or Middle East:
1. Intern at top financial publication, Asia office (Forbes, Economist, FT) for half of summer, likely mid-sized VC firm in SF for other half
2. IB SA at MM firm in Istanbul
3. Energy sector MM PE group in Istanbul
4. Corp Dev/Internal M&A + Strategy group at large AM in US (BlackRock, State Street, etc.)
On one hand, looking for something that would set me up well for next summer. On the other, definitely looking for an interesting experience.
Nice job getting all those offers as a sophomore. I'd go with the PE firm personally, but you can't go wrong with any of these I don't think.
I would take number 4, so that I get to stay here and network over coffee chats over the summer; networking internationally over phone doesn't quite work well.
It is also IB relevant.
Thanks for the input! Ultimately, chose Forbes Asia followed by IB SA at a MM firm in Istanbul. #4 would have been a more pragmatic choice but I was hoping for international experience. I know it's not ideal Ambani but any advice for networking internationally?
