Question along the lines of the OP: If I am a sophomore and I have already had an asset management internship, am in good rapport with the company, will it be looked down on if I spend a second year there?

Edit: forgot to include that end goal is IB or trading, depending on how my coursework goes and what I end up liking more through research/classes/etc

i mean you wont necessarily be looked down on, but you arent adding anything to your resume except for extended dates, which generally employers wouldn't even notice IMHO.

also, junior year summer is considered the "big" summer in terms of getting into BB firms, so getting FT interviews/offers will be difficult during your senior year if all you have is 1 PWM internship done twice.

 

Fahmie25: What happened was that the company thought I was a Junior for some reason (I corrected them in the interview--said I was a freshman), so it was technically a freshman summer internship. If I did it again it would be a soph summer.

The only thing that I would worry about is IBs thinking that you're interested in AM because you spent two summers there, but I don't think that would be as much of an issue since it's freshman - sophomore years and not sophomore - junior years.

I don't accept sacrifices and I don't make them. ... If ever the pleasure of one has to be bought by the pain of the other, there better be no trade at all. A trade by which one gains and the other loses is a fraud.
