I am a sophomore. I have an offer to Ayco, a GS company in wealth management/financial planning. I also have an offer to a regional IB (very small, only has 3 employees), and the pay is similar at both. If I want to break into IB for a junior summer internship, which one do you think I should choose?

IB internship for direct experience
I would suggest you do IB. Nobody who does hiring cares about Ayco having "a Goldman Sachs Company" attached to it
I'd go with IB for sure. One of my old roomates did the Ayco WM role, and they liked it, but said it seemed "way overhyped." They can do that since it's got the GS label on it. I'm guessing you're on here for advice on what gets you a better shot at an IB, and the regional boutique would, especially as a sophomore. You'll probably be given more responsibility and exposure with that small deal team.
IB hands down...
Definitely the IB role if you’re planning to recruit for IB in the coming months
Yeah boutique IB is your best bet. I interned at a 10 man shop near my school and it was great exposure. Ended up helping out in interviews.
