Need some advice...Which internship

I have already accepted an offer to intern with Merrill Lynch this spring semester- It will be two days a week. However, I can also get a position this spring semester at UBS- two days a week so technically I can work at both ML and UBS at the same time. Do you think this will fly?... Is it worth asking my boss at ML if he would be cool with that or will that just make me look unloyal... Thanks

depends on the type of work you will be doing. may be noncompete clauses in your contract if you signed one. I'm pretty dumb, so if I was in your position i would likely ask my boss. Are the internships both paid? If so, just say you really need the money for textbooks or whatever and wouldn't have asked otherwise. Also I'm not sure how this would look to future prospective employers....probably bad lol....so yea don't do it. Go with ML, UBS is garbage these days (even PWM)

 

Pick one or run the risk of losing both. What happens if you go for both and one or the other wants you to work more or whatever. I agree with above, your lucky enough to have two great opportunities. Run with it .

 

Thanks for the advice... I decided to go with ML bc the MD seems like he actually wants to see the interns learn which is nice. I got these through school. I go to school in the city (nyc) which is helpful b/c a lot of these bb firms are looking for interns during the school year.
