Opinion on Top Fortune 50 Internship for Banking
HI guys, for the summer after my sophomore year I will be at a top (think JnJ, GE) F50 Finance internship. It will be in a more hands on group than the typical corporate finance internship role. I will most likely be in corporate development or in treasury . My main question is how does this look coming from a non-target for banking? I already have a hedge fund internship under my belt from last summer.

That sounds great. I mean look, for your sophomore year you take what you can get. If you have other offers then tell us but if that's your only thing, that's your only thing (it happens to sound rock solid). Like seriously what if we told you it wasn't worth it, you would turn down it down and sit around and do nothing?
Bump... same situation here
I had a corporate development internship for a fortune 250 company after my junior year. I ended up being in decent shape come recruiting season because I did a solid amount of financial modeling and was able to spin the work of the summer before as not fast paced enough for me. It probably also helped that I was a varsity athlete and I think that helped mitigate concerns of me not being able to handle some of the work. I ended up with two MM FT offers from a semi-target. As long as you can fit it into your story you should be fine, especially since you still have another summer to try to get IB experience.

Is your previous internship a real hedge fund or like some tiny no-name middle of no where family shop where you got coffee all summer?
OP this seems like a good option that will set you up very well for full time recruiting. Do you have any other offers or interview to compare against? If not, its seems like an easy yes.
Resumes come across my desk weekly with "hedge fund" and "venture capital" experience on them. I'd say 80% of the time when asked about this experience, it becomes painfully obvious that the applicant did zero actual modeling/financial/relevant work and the "hedge fund" was actually working with his uncle who's a financial adviser.
Hence it is relevant, because if he gets in the interview and his hedge fund experience was bullshit then it won't really count. It might actually annoy the interviewer.
