VC vs. PWM vs. School Treasury for internship?
I just finished my freshman year at a non-target. I have offers to work at a local VC firm, a private wealth management firm, and for my schools financial services office doing roughly the same work that I would for PWM from what I can tell. They all pay, and it all sounds like typical intern work.
I also have an interview with an accounting firm this week but I’m not sure how valuable that could be. I sort of spammed applications at within the last month.
Which would look the best/ provide the best experience for IB in the future?
I'm biased, but my sophomore VC internship was probably the most interesting work I have done in my short career. I got much better on the "big picture" of how businesses develop over time and got actual deal experience. Would only pick the PWM if it was at a big brand-name shop.
Yeah, that's what I'm leaning toward right now. The PWM is a small local firm.
I'm not sure how much "deal experience" mine entails, but it definitely seems the most interesting
You are already ahead of the curve with a freshman summer offer. Can't really go wrong. Most of my friends were in food service and drinking themselves silly.
"Deal experience" for me was building decks, redlining docs, setting up financials, scheduling meetings, score carding, etc. Nothing like what I do now, but still a good WLB and a definite step up from reading admin forms all day.
