Boutique or Chinese IBD?
I’m a sophomore from a semi-target in the U.S.. I have already secured two offers for this summer, one from a small, no-name boutique in the Midwest (through networking) and the other from one of the largest Chinese investment banks in Beijing/Shanghai (not CICC or CITIC though). I got it via family connection.
The boutique is mostly an M&A advisory firm, but it is more relevant to the U.S. capital markets. As China reopens IPO this year, it is expected that there will be 300+ Chinese A-share IPOs in 2014. I assume that I will be able to participate in some of them. My concern, however, is that Chinese experience is not highly regarded.
I am born and raised in Mainland China, but my goal is to get a SA position in either New York or Hong Kong and eventually a FT job in one of these places. Which one should I choose?
Chinese IBD.
Chinese bank. You've still got next year to land a name-brand US-based internship.
Are both unpaid?
This is exactly the type of questions you should ignore. Pay is NOT important when looking at internships, compared to how much you will potentially make in a full time job.
Chinese IBD - it's a no brainer...
I know that, I was just wondering if it was a factor to him. I didn't say take what pays better. I have done 2 unpaid internship so far.. Some people can't support themselves through an unpaid internship.
