Would you take this internship?

What are your thoughts on an internship at a Financing and financial services company such as GE Capital or CIT working in their corporate finance or Trade Finance groups?

Would this be a good way to start your career?

Is it good leverage to intern at a better place next year?

CIT has a healthcare IB group- thoughts?

Typical compensation for a FT corpfin or trade finance role?

Thanks?

ekudfoekudWhy the fuck would I take that when I can get a BB job? Are you a pre-frosh or something?

Why such a hostile reply? Chill out bro. If it's GE's FMP internship, that's one of the best finance gigs you can get. WSO has Bulge Bracket tunnel vision though, so don't expect many helpful responses. Great job in and of itself, and provides great leverage into IB/Consulting. Some major consulting firms give 2X the bonus to former FMPs.

I like your name, but it's false advertising.

 

I enjoy finance and Im not scared to outwork whoever. Im ready for the lifestyle I just wanna know how it will look for next year on my resume. The recruiter mentioned great exposure to sreadsheets,balance statements underwriting. As far as goals I just wanna work in high finance HF,PE,VC,RE, or staying in IB are all ok with me

Is GE FMP really that coveted? I know a few people that are going there full time after graduation but I considered it more of a fall back to front-office roles at BB/Boutiques.

 

I don't know much about CIT but Trade Finance is booming, especially in Asia and LatAm.

However, if you are 100% set on IBD you should probably take the FMP internship because of the prestige/brand associated with it

 

Anybody know the comp or exit ops in Trade Finance? or if their IB-Healthcare group is of street level comp and exit op wise?
