I am a junior at a target (in the College of Arts and Sciences though, not the b-school) and my summer opportunities are as follows:
1) A position at a BB in their finance group. Half way through the summer I am asked to apply to two programs, usually the finance group and any other group of my choosing, which in my case would be corp fin. From what I was told about half of the kids in the finance group leave and a lot of them apply and get into the corp fin group.
2) A position with another BB in their Global Markets Technology group. The bank is pouring a lot of money into their Investment Bank and are over-paying people. They also claim to have ease of mobility within the firm, but not like the above mentioned bank.
3) A position with one of the big four accounting firms in their business due diligence group. I think the experience here will be closest to any IB internship since I would still be doing valuations etc. From what I have read and been told this internship will most likely get me interviews for full-time spots at a BB, but I will get grilled on technicals and some BBs will wonder why I didn't work at a bank so they will be skeptical.
Which position will put me in the best place to get into a BB for a full-time spot? Which one will give me the best experience for getting into a BB? Rankings for the three? Any thoughts, advice, criticisms are appreciated.
Avoid taking the tech. route...TRUST ME.
I would take the Finance route. It will give you great experience, and if you're really good, you can move to front office IB. I, and many others, have taken that route.
