Is a political internship for freshman year summer a disadvantage?
Im an incoming freshman at a top LAC and I want to recruit for investment banking. I know it’s typically best to work at a search fund for IB boutique for summer of freshman year, but I’m deeply interested in government and politics, and I can see myself pivoting to policy work after working in finance for a few years. Will working at a congressman or state legislator’s office freshman summer put me at a disadvantage for later IB recruiting? Thanks
