Currently a Junior at a non-target, unless people consider Rutgers a target school. Seeking summer internship. Awesome 3.255 GPA.
So...I pretty much got pimp-slapped across the face by BlackRock's PAG interview. My only offer outstanding now is a Finance role at a top BB. This is more internal finance, like controlling...randomly assigned group, but the divisions are Equities, FI, Treasuries, Tax Compliance, and something else. I'd be happy with any of the first 3.
Anyways, I'm just wondering how difficult it would be to move into a FO position with this experience. Does not necessarily have to be IB, but anything FO-like. I am curious about how this will help me out for a full-time position, if at all.
The firm has a good name, at least in the USA. Ranks top 3 on the vault IB guides, if you don't count in Blackstone, because yeah...I have a -16% chance of getting in there.
What are your thoughts? Good opportunity? Or shall I continue to stay here at BlackRock Ops, and try to move around a bit?
Thanks, have an excellent weekend, and good luck to everyone's job/internship search. Thanks in advance for any responses.
My friend did that Lehman internship 2 years ago... didn't get him anywhere. From what I understand, it was a waste of time. My friend did not get any FT offers from any banks.
This may not be the place to debate it, but Vault seriously overestimates Lehman. I wouldn't let the "top-3" reasoning influence your decision.
Bump. Other input? What is the 1st year compensation like? 55K + (maybe) 10k signing?
