JPM, UBS, or PIMCO?
I currently have three offers for this summer, Wholesale Payments at JP Morgan, Public Finance Investment Banking at UBS, and Account Analyst (aka a general alternative investments intern) at PIMCO. My number one concern is not necessarily working in investment banking, rather I want to intern somewhere that will give me a variety of skills and leave a lot of doors left open in terms of exit opportunities. Since I am not 100% certain in what I want to do, I want to leave myself with options. Which of these three internships do you believe will allow me to do that?
IB at UBS
Could you please explain why you think so? I was leaning towards JP Morgan given the size and name of the firm, and I thought that Public Finance would give me a limited skill set but I would love to know why you think UBS is a stronger choice.
Pay is better. Exit options are leagues above the JPM MO position and better than PIMCO. Culture is great.
Public finance IB is still IB, which is just a much better career path than the role at JP, which opens far fewer doors down the road.
public finance, you will learn about credit and gain skills that can be transferable at a credit role later on
Thanks for the advice!! What do you think I should choose between JPM and PIMCO?
depends on your goal, if you want banking do JPM or UBS better pay also if not do pimco
100% UBS pub fin
Thanks for the advice!! What do you think I should choose between JPM and PIMCO?
Neither. Go with UBS.
neither. if you are looking for long term optionality as you mentioned you 110% need to take UBS pub fin
Not to hijack this thread but I guess it's related - how good is UBS pub fin? I know that they closed their pub fin business in 2008 and have since been growing back their platform but don't know much about performance.
Why not pimco
