I am a rising junior trying to get into equities research and this summer I have been searching for internships everywhere. Right now my internship options seem to be
1) IBD of a major global bank in Istanbul, Turkey 2) PWM for a BB in DC 3) An endowment management firm (did not hear back from them yet)
Which one of these would be the best possible option for me to take?

I am from Turkey so that helped a little. I was already inclined towards interning in Turkey to avoid using my CPT so early, but my main worry is that particular bank does not have much of presence in US, while it is very strong in the rest of the world. Since I am planning work in the States, I am doubtful if it is going to help me that much.
Is it HSBC?
I don't want to give out the names until I make a decision, but it is around that calibre.
Smart move not to give out name on public board.
I think it is a great idea to intern as an SA in Istanbul. It is a huge plus on your resume--can put a good spin on it. Great experience..and this can reflect well when applying FT in NYC, London, or Asia-Pac. You will have a leg up with this experience, a great topic to talk about in the interview and a great learning exp of what you like, don't like, want to do instead (if you find this to be the case), etc.
Plus to be in beautiful Istanbul-what a bonus!
Good luck to you. And remember you are only a rising junior. You will be in great shape.
Thank you for the advice. Coming from a non-target LAC, I feel like I have to establish as much network as I can, and that is the only doubt I have about the internship in Turkey.
Is there anyway to delete the unrelated posts? I am actually trying to get some help in this forum, not involve in such racist discussions.
