How legit is this offer?

take the paid HF imo..

I would say hedge fund. What have you been working on there?

thanks guys.

at the HF i do research in the mining industry, company due diligence, financial modelling.

Its a really small hedge fund as well, so my worries is that it wont load up my resume for FT recruitment

.

I wouldn't even call 10-50 mil the "mid market," more like small cap

Hedge Fund for sure. The skills you'll learn there will definitely help for FT. Just network harder next year.

yeah take the hedge fund most def....or do both over the summer. i did that and it impressed about every recruiter i talked to. you can spin off the boutique internship to real IB work. just tell them your interests and im sure they will throw work at you.

as of right now, im trying to see if i can fit both into my schedule. the boutique is most likely 9-5

during the year, for HF i was doing all the work at home/ university finance lab and having bi-weekly/monthly meetings, but i haven't worked out the details for the summer yet.

Thanks for the advice guys!

hedge fund anyday. provides better story opportunity during FT recruiting as compared to small cap.

i would say the hedge fund if you didn't already have it on your resume, but the ability to have BOTH and ibank and a hf is better than just a longer date next to the HF IMO....

if you can do both i definitely would go that route. 2 legit internships>1 longer great internship. it would definitely be a solid differentiating factor imo

Doesn't seem like the ibank is a really legit internship though.
