Should I downgrade my experience to get a summer internship?
Currently in my second bachelor at a semi-target for Europe, mainly to take advantage of the student placement programs at BBs, EBs, MMs, etc. In my final year at my first degree (complete non-target - moved countries, cheapest option for my family), I landed an internship at a small regional boutique (solid reputation though). Converted it into a full-time analyst offer right after graduation and have been working there ever since, in parallel with my new degree. Mostly SME deals, so models are simpler and deal sizes smaller, but I’ve had full exposure to building models, drafting decks, and supporting live processes bc the team is super lean.
Now that 2026 recruiting is starting, I’m debating whether to list my experience exactly as it is, or tone it down so it looks more like a typical first-year bachelor profile. As the HRs and people who will review my cv might not believe what I am listing there.
