Will this experience help me later?

I am a rising high school senior now, I started interning after sophomore year. I really want to go into I-Banking and want to know if what I've done thus far and what I am planning to do will help me get good internships in college.

I've interned at a small local bank in accounting and operations

This summer I am interning at a start up capital management firm and assist in trading currencies

I have an offer to intern part time through senior year at a wealth
management firm.

Yes, definitely. Keep in mind that the school you go to is going to help just as much if not more than what your experience is. People on this site say differently, but when a Princeton kid and a Baruch kid decide to work in finance....the Princeton kid almost always gets the job they want and the Baruch kid is a statistical outlier no matter WHAT their experience.

Why? It doesn't matter. Go to the best college you can, and make sure they recruit for finance there. Way to go on getting motivated early.

One thing: have some fun. You only get to be young once, you'll be working for a loonnnngggg time. Plus, people tend to like to hire people who they relate to on some level.

Good luck

Get busy living
 

Obviously it will...

Of equal importance is doing shit normal kids do so you are a real person
