So a friend of mine has an off-cycle internship (winter/spring) within the Institutional Equity Sales division of a top BB (MS, JP, CS) and has an opportunity to intern with Goldman Sachs IBD as an SA for 2012. She is a Junior in college.
I know they are they are essentially 2 totally different jobs, although both being considered "front office". Even though they are both name brand internships, she is worried about burning bridges at her current workplace.

FYI: I told her to jump ship and go to Goldman. But that's just me. I'm a prestige whore.
If she gets an offer from internship one, sign it. If she gets an offer from GS, AND WANTS TO DO IBD, sign GS and renege on offer #1. No biggie.
