IBD Full Time Recruiting Positioning

Seeking advice. Am in the fortunate position to have the opportunity to intern at a VC firm or an IB firm this fall semester. This summer, I was able to gain experience in PE. Wondering which positions me best for Full Time IBD recruiting. Ultimately, I want to get into VC, but realize that paying my dues in banking is how it'll likely have to go.

Essentially, looking for the safest route/internship that will maximize my possibility of landing a full-time IBD offer this Fall. From a bankers perspective, is there a material difference in an application between IB fall analyst or VC fall analyst?

 

Would do IB, it jumps out on a resume more and if you're trying to start in IB then get as many directly relevant skills as you can.

Agree with above, FT recruiting has already started and will ramp up in the next 2 weeks as offers are decided... so accept one, put it on your resume, and get applying
