Help with Summer Analyst positions!

Hi everyone,

I have a couple offers on the table and really have no idea which way to go. The main thing I want for the future is FLEXIBILITY with regards to both location and job function. These are both summer analyst positions. I am a junior finance major.

Citigroup- Operations in NYC

Wells Fargo- Corporate/Commerical Banking in Philly suburbs

Is either one of these positions going to give me more options in the future than the other? I haven't narrowed down what exactly I want to do so I am looking for a position that will teach me as much as I can, and hopefully give me some options into FT positions that pay well.

Thanks for your time!

Definitely take Wells. You'll learn more about FO finance. Don't be tempted to go with Citi because of the big name unless ops is what you want to do FT

 

Ops is definitely not in my long term plans, but if it has a better chance of helping me get a top job after graduation I would do that. Long-term I would love to end up FO somewhere, but really have no specific direction other than that.

So would the Wells Fargo position make me more marketable next year when I am looking for FT? If I were to be offered a FT position from WF, what are the odds of me being able to relocate/change job functions?

Really, thanks for the responses.
