I just finished a summer internship at a bulge bracket BB (think Goldman, Citi etc.), loved my experience and would love to return. I got an offer back. I was thinking though, what looks more impressive on one's resume-having experience at the same bank for two summers or having experience from various banks on the street? (I have one more summer left as an undergrad to do an internship as I'll be graduating in Dec 08)

if other bb will see it.. i guess there will be like: ahh the other bb wanted him twice.. so he has to be good at his job.
would be good for your future.
otherwise if you want some different experiences go for another one
thanks checkbk. other thots for ibankingoasisers?
did you get a ft offer back or was it another sa offer for next summer...if you liked the bank and it was a FT offer, why dont you just accept the offer and enjoy your last few years of uni?
did you pursue an offer or were you just given one right off the bat?
creditcrunch:
Which IBD group were you in at your BB?
citi and gs are no where near in the same league
if your bank was GS, MS stay.
if not, try and leverage to a better bank (unless you were in a killer group ie JPM Lev Fin, CS Sponsors, LB Nat Resources, etc.)
I was at Lehman...can't give out my group info as this forum is constantly perused by folks at LB
my group wasn't as prestigious as say MS M&A or JPM Lev Fin. but it wasn't a gutter group...it was a pretty respectable coverage group
so should do one more summer or shop around?
p.s I really loved working at Lehman
Sending out a big hello to all those at Lehman...
sammy 101, it was another summer sa offer
stay there, itll guarantee you a FT offer and other banks will know that if they wanted you back you are good at what you do.
Wierd I thought Lehman was giving out offers to its sophomores in September.
Anyway, I would probably stay
thanks guys!
If you are one of those real hoo ray! Lehman! people (some people that work there are really gung ho and put Lehman miles above any other bank), than work their. You will be happy and do well.
If not, and that kind of attitude makes you a little sick to your stomach, go eslewhere. There are a handful of banks that are "better", but really in terms of exit opps once your up to Lehman level it is much more about leveraging contacts and getting in touch with the good headhunters anyway.
you liked it there, lehman hires a high % of SAs for full time, and honestly there isnt that much upside in terms of trying to get to another bank over lehman...
There's a huge upside if you can get another bank other than lehman.
