Junior Year HF Internship?
This is probably a batshit stupid question but here goes: I was supposed to intern at a decent HF this summer (of my sophomore year) but the COVID-19 situation in NYC threw a wrench in it, and they extended me an offer for next summer, my junior year. I want to break into IB, but the only thing I have going for me is networking (no freshman internship). Should I accept the offer? I wanted to bag an internship at a shop where I'd get hired but these people don't want a scrappy undergrad. Thoughts? Would an HF internship junior year leave me in good shape for post-graduate prospects?
Hi Megakaiser, yes, I'm a bot, but I'm also good looking. Hopefully, these threads help you:
If those topics were completely useless, don't blame me, blame my programmers...
This is my exact situation (HF in Manhattan postponed it for this summer aka junior year summer). What did you end up deciding?
I ended up interviewing for a bunch of sell-side research roles & ended up taking one at a BB. I realized that's what I want to do anyway so I might as well start off with some job security out of one of those programs, rather than rock the high-risk high-reward path of going to an HF junior year (they maybe would have taken me as a trading assistant afterward but that wasn't a lock). I still want to hop over to the buy-side at some point but I really just wanted the job security. That said, if you go HF & they don't sauce you an offer then it still looks great on the resume.
Congratulations on working at a BB! That's awesome!
