Citadel ops internship vs boutique investment bank corporate access internship
Ok, so I have a bit of a dilemma. I have to choose between doing ops at Citadel vs corporate access at a small investment bank, and there are a lot of factors to consider. One---what will get me a more front office role? Obviously ops is BO, but what is corporate access considered? I call CFOs/CEOs/IR of corporations at the investment bank and try to schedule non deal road shows for our institutional salesmen, so maybe this is considered more of front office/sales-type work if I wanted to move into equity sales. Two--If they are both equally BO, then what should I take in terms of progressing my career? Citadel is obviously a bigger name, but maybe corporate access is viewed as a more desirable skill set. Also, the boutique bank said that after a year of corporate access analysts can often become institutional salespeople for the firm (don't know how truthful this is). Three--how much should pay factor into my decision? I will get paid 10 dollars per hour plus commission for the corporate access role, and the pay at Citadel I do not know yet. ANY ADVICE HELPFUL. Thanks homies.

I would take Citadel. Both aren't highly coveted roles, but the Citadel name would carry you better. If you were doing IB, I would say that, but seems both aren't what you are really looking to end into.
well, I'm looking to get into institutional sales, so would corp access be more similar to that? During my interview it was framed that way.
To be completely honest, idk if corp access will help you get institutional sales S&T. Just because its a sales role doesn't mean it will help necessarily with S&T sales, especially if its just cold calling.
Hmmm. Yeah idk maybe not at other firms, but what about within the same firm if that was what I was told during my interview? Or will they say anything during an interview hahahaha
Anyone else have some words of wisdom?
