Sophomore Summer Unknown Boutique vs Name Brand Non-IB
I've heard a lot about the importance of having a name brand internship for sophomore summer to get people to pay more attention to your resume. So I am wondering, would it be better to intern at a small, local, unknown boutique IB or at a known bank where you may not be doing IB work (think PWM, S&T, etc.)? I'd assume whether or not you get deal exposure at the boutique is probably relevant too, so it'd be helpful to factor that in.
Interested to know as well.
Unless the no name B gives you very tangible, easy to explain experience, I would opt for the name brand (although there is no absolute). Reasons big banks or any other F500 likes to see big names include:
All of these are good indicators of the type of employee they want.
The boutique may actually give you more responsibility (which is good). For it to be leveraged, you'll have to gain skill at communicating the value you brought to the role and company. That becomes hit or miss.
Really? That's surprising to hear, I usually hear that boutique IB internship is the way to go for sophomore summer if you wanna land in IB
