BB Operations Intern VS F500 Corp Finance (24 hours to make decision)
As mentioned in previous threads I've received an BB Operations Internship (Not GS/JP/MS) offer and an F500 Corporate Finance (FP&A) offer. For more perspective on the F500 offer, most interns generally go through their FLDP program (2.5 years) upon receiving a return offer from the internship. It's a consumer products company that mostly caters to health/cleaning/hygiene related products and it's in the 200-300 range on the F500 if that matters. FYI, this is not a corp dev/strategy internship
The general consensus has advised me to take the F500 internship, though some believe it's very possible to network into a MO (risk/treasury) role full time if successful during the internship. The ultimate goal is to make it to the FO, whether that's IB or S&T. I'm a lot more knowledgable about IB, but wouldn't rule out S&T (just need to learn more about it). Whether it requires years to make a BO-FO transition, or whether that be getting a CFA and/or MBA. My grades are very good at a recognizable state school, assuming I do as well on the GMAT, that could open my options to a lot of MBA programs.
I have 24 hours left to make the decision, and am personally leaning towards the F500 just because I don't know how transferable the ops intern will be, but I'm trying to gain as many perspectives as possible.
FP&A. This should be a no brainer.
BB BO is a living hell to try to break out of. Especially in an economy like this. Roles usually sucks too. Have an alum from my MBA program who went the FLDP route and eventually got poached to join a fast growing BU at a FAANG to help run their P&L. I doubt you'd get those type of exit ops at a back office within a bank.
I'm an undergraduate and will be a rising senior next year. Curious what MBA you and this person went too
I'll PM you.
