Is an internship at Vanguard able to feed to wall street internship the following year?
Hi everyone. I am a sophomore finance major at a nontarget private school (top 30). I received an internship offer in corporate finance for Vanguard, the second largest Asset Management firm in the world. I am a sophomore and the internship is for juniors so I am very lucky to get it. However, I want to be on Wall St. for my junior year in a BB. I did receive another offer from a less prestigious firm for corporate finance and M&A rotational program.
I am stressed on which offer to choose which would put me in a better state to get to Wall street.
Thoughts?
Thank you very much!
If I was you I'd look into breaking into AM at Vanguard instead of breaking into a BB. IB is not all that anymore....
Interesting note, why do you say that?
AM will be fully automated long before advisory roles are.
Fundamental will always have a place
Where is the m&a rotational program ?
Dominion Resources (Fortune 250 electricity company) so not really a financial hub
If you want to do banking, take the M&A internship. That will give you direct experience at a large company. You don't need to work for a financial services company - there is a good chance that the M&A team at Dominion is full of ex-bankers.
I agree with Hockey, take the Dominion M&A gig
Vanguard no doubt, especially for a sophomore, that's money. You could probably get a solid network there for Wall Street, the guys in charge of those portfolios for the MFs and ETFs are the real deal.
Spot on. Can confirm this.
I took the Vanguard offer! Thank you!
Well done. If it helps, I did both (IB & ETFs/Indices) and I would say the latter was much more interesting and rewarding.
Good luck to you.
Hey I just got an offer from vanguard too at their Scottsdale office. Which office are you going to?
