Question About Potential "Corporate Financing" Internship This Summer
Hi,
So I just got off the phone with someone and he said that there's a very good chance that I'll get an internship position in what he called "corporate financing", which to me sounds like commercial lending, at a US F25 firm in Asia. I know this forum is more i-banking based, but I was wondering what sorts of skills I can potentially develop from this position and what I can potentially exit too. I haven't had much luck cold-calling boutiques, SA at BBs/elite boutiques was a bust, so I was wondering, since this looks like it's my only internship option, how to prepare for it and what I can expect to learn?
My end goal would be corporate dev/corporate strategy at a company with PE also being somewhat interesting, but I'm wondering how relevant this is to any of that? I'm hoping, at the very least, to leverage this into a rotational program at the company next year, but if working in a corporation makes me change my mind about industry positions for the worse, can this type of position still leave me marketable for IB/MC in the future?
Thanks and sorry for this long and wordy post

IB maybe depending on your qualifications. MC is going to be a stretch.
You will be working with the underwriters at the BB's and will have a chance to network But a lot of these guys are going to be in Corporate Banking, which is not IB. You will learn relevant sills, however.
Thanks for the response, but do you know what the day-to-day stuff will be like? Also, how can I tell if corporate financing is just lending credit or has to do with obtaining financing for projects? I'm more interested in the later because I feel like this would be more modeling intensive (and it would be more interesting period)
