Freshman Internship Question

Hey guys,

I was hoping to get some feedback on which of these internships would better help me get an IB internship next year, hopefully in the JPM Freshmen/Sophomore Summer Honors Program.

I have a corporate finance/accounting internship at a large tech firm, and a PWM internship at ML in San Francisco. The corporate finance internship seems to have better work, but the PWM internship has the name/great location.

Let me know your opinions.

Thanks for all your help guys.

I agree that the corporate finance internship would be better for IB, it's just that the commute is problematic.

Would an internship at an alternative energy "start-up" still be worth taking over ML PWM?
