Hey guys, thanks for the prompt reply. First off let me give you a little more about my situation. I applied to BNP primarily because of their reputation overseas (Which is where I am from). Second, I have applied to alot of the Tier 1 Investment Banks but I have not gotten any offers. Thus BNP is really my only opportunity in IB and on the Sell Side. I was wondering specifically how much leverage an experience like this would give me as I market myself next year for full time employment. No company is perfect, and in the case of BNP, the company is going through some rough times, however, despite this, how impressive of an experience will this be, and will it enable me to better position myself for future recruitment.

thanks again

entirely a different story if it is your only offer. of course go for it, and have a great time. you'll learn a lot and gain the necessary experience to make your resume attractive during fall recruiting.

 

Not to highjack the thread (probably should start a new one) but I'll be doing a one week "internship" there this summer (Asia) and was wondering if anyone has any idea why it's just a week...basically week long interview so they can decide if they want to hire you full time but don't have enough for interns to do? the office is pretty new/expanding

 

of course you should take it if it's your only offer. it's a big name firm so that helps. what the experience ultimately does for you is on you
