Would you mind sharing the name of the banks? Or at least their deal size, products, and/or area of expertise? Really can't make a decision just on whether it's paid or not and the location...
If it's the bank in Portland I think it is, they have good tech flow.
That said I'd generally lean towards a paid internship. How strong your existing network is should also play a factor, as if it could stand to be strengthened there's a lot to be said for being able to meet people over lunch.
In more details- the one in portland is focused on facilities services/telecom and the one in NY is energy/healthcare , each has about 3-4 employees .
I feel like being in NY might unlock more opportunities to meet people and network there - thoughts?
Define energy. You talking power gen/renewables or oil and gas?
It doesn't really matter that much, I'd go with the one that's paid. That said, you'd definitely be able to network in NYC. Do you go to a target/semi target?
Either one sounds like a great choice.
Coming from a similar situation, I've done an unpaid internship at a boutique IB in NYC. I learned so much, and it gave me the opportunity to intern at another, more known, boutique for the summer (paid).
Definitely need more details, in order to pick the better bank.
