How many internships are too many?
Hi All!
I'm a rising junior and have currently held 4 internships (2 were concurrent). Their length ranged from 10 weeks (a semester) to 18 months. I'm very interested in finance (PE/IB). My two most recent internships have built towards this path. My question is this--how many internships are too many before it looks bad? My summer internship will end mid-August. If I get an internship for the fall semester, will it appear that I'm jumping around too much?
Thoughts and feedback are appreciated. Thank you in advance.
I guess it really depends on 'where' you did your intern, so it's really a matter of quality rather than quantity
List your 3 top on your resume (do you even have space for more?) and cycle the worst out if you end up doing a better one. If you have 3 reasonably strong internships you might be better off perfecting your gpa and expanding your involvement/leadership
3 internships on your resume is a good number. Make sure they're relevant to the next position you're applying to. Best resumes usually have a story of how you got to where you are now by doing those internships
Unless you're tight for money, you don't need more than 3/4 internships imho. In fact, even two are good enough. And 3 things matter. In descending order:
If you're a finance/econ student aiming to work in finance, stick to finance internships. If you were engineering, highlight the "soft" skills your internships (if they were engineering internships) required. If you were liberal arts, highlight the "hard/quant/finance" skills your internships required.
Many thanks to you, and all above. I've done a few internships, one because I genuinely enjoy them, and two, because I'm putting myself through college and the pay is often 2-3x any on-campus job I could get. My two most recent were in finance (I'm a finance/econ/accounting major) I'm working to do as Blockhead said and cycle internships with relevant experiences/most impressive internships.

Maybe for Big 4 but to say that NO ONE will hire you before junior year is untrue. You just gotta look harder man.

uhhh i dont think it could ever look bad, considering you don't have to put them all on your resume
