Which is better for moi?

Hello,

I've already received an offer for a 6-week long internship at a large accountancy firm; within their corporate finance department; I'm a first year in the UK looking to go into M&A.

However, I also have an interview with a Canadian bank coming up, within their middle office (finance) department for 8 weeks. Should I attend or should I tell them I can't? Which would be better for my second year summer applications? The 6 week corporate finance, which will help me see some M&A on midcap companies? Or Finance with the canadians?

Regards,

 

Definitely take the big 4 opportunity. Middle office won't get you anywhere, plus you've got a chance at a second internship. You can parlay the direct M&A experience from the big 4 into a BB internship next year.

Still I Rise
 

Really? (Not asking that in a condescending way)

I thought that a bank name would show a lot just because I got into a middle office internship as a first year student (if i do get on to get it following interview), as opposed to the actual job role itself?

Is it the name of the accountancy firm that will help me or the nature of the work within the Corp. Finance which your referring to as the step-up to land me a second year M&A SA.

Thanks a lot for your help, I really don't know which to go for. Or if it'll make that much difference either way.
