Yeah, I would definitely go for the Dow Jones internship. BB PWMs aren't exactly fun and you don't really learn a lot. Also, BB PWMs aren't hard to come by. However, your Dow Jones internship looks like a really unique opportunity that many freshmen don't have. So I'd go for that.
I don't get why this is even a choice. It's as much of a no-brainer as you can get.
The second option would be way better even if it was unpaid and the BB PWM was paid...
Dow Jones fo' sho'.
Thanks for the advice guys. And yeah, I pretty much knew the Dow Jones one would be a better experience, just wasn't sure if it was as relevant to finance as PWM.
I think for freshmen, the important thing is differentiating yourself, not finance. If you can get a boutique IB internship, that's the best because it is relevant and special. But if you do an internship that is unrelated to finance at a successful startup, that will definitely help a lot more than PWM.
BAML has one too. Boutique IB would also be great for sophomore summer if you can't get into those BB programs. Good luck!
