Too many internships bad?

Student at a target school incoming to a top BB. I currently have 4 internships under my belt + a term-time as I took a gap year last year after signing with my BB. The internships are all mid-high quality (1 public equity at long only, 2 private equity at UMM, and 1 term-time in MMPE)

Recently, I was told by a friend that having too many internships would look bad because it shows that I have no firm loyalty. How should I go about displaying my internships and is it bad that I will have 4-5 internships by on cycle recruiting? 

 

Not a problem - it’ll look fine, if not great, employers. Your friend is still a student, I wouldn’t take those opinions too seriously

 

Backwards thinking in my opinion. Not every firm has a full suite of services and ideally you are trying to become a candidate with multiple skillsets and expertises. There’s nothing wrong with it, your friend is just a hater lol
