Really light freshman summer internship vs Really heavy freshman summer internship workwise?
Currently choosing between two options for my freshman summer. One is a really light and flexible internship but the work is still interesting and significant. The other said that they will work me really hard and treat me as a full-time analyst so that I can learn as much as I can (aka a lot of deal flow and very hands-on). Both are unpaid and are at boutique IB firms. On my resume, the bullet points will probably be similar. Which should I choose? Would it be beneficial to essentially be a full-time analyst for my summer? Or should i prioritize grinding the guides and networking?
I’d lowkey do the light one. Chill a bit for the summer - you’ll still pick up on a lot of important things and be able to relax and have fun w ur friends.
1) Then throughout the summer begin to understand some basic concepts (you don’t need to do a lot just learn the outjline).
2) I’d start reading the news (I like the Bloomberg app because u don’t need to pay and it gives you good headlines, WSJ, and FT app. Also, for podcasts Morning Brew, Wall Street Breakfast, and Thoughts on the Market).
3) Then just compile a list of the firms you want to focus on (I’d go for like 8-12 core banks depending on what looks your school gets). Find some alumni that work at each of these on LinkedIn. Make cold call email format.
In September I’d start networking and learning the guides. Dedicate atleast 2 hrs every to learning. Know technicals by Jan 1. Also Behaviorals r so important. Start doing mocks

If at a target - go for chill. Non Target go for intense
I'm at a target but have a low gpa ~3.5. Does this change anything, or would you still recommend the chill one?
