Two Summer "IB" Internships
Sophmore here. Two remote IB part-time internships. Signed with one firm saying that I won't do another internship that directly relates to the business of the company or would conflict with my obligations. That firm is a specialized boutique, where I will be performing varied roles (No real allusion to the businesses of the second firm detailed --> ). The other firm is an IB shop where I will essentially just be researching potential companies for PE firms to acquire. I don't really see an overlap or a real conflict of interest. Two part-time remote gigs with different daily tasks operating in different parts of the country. Not planning on spreading this around for updating my linkedin for a while though to be safe. Any thoughts on risk?
while to you it might seem "safe" to do this, don't. the risks outweigh the rewards and it won't give you a materially better experience, both work and resume wise.
My thoughts as someone who did a summer IB internship for sophomore summer and has had ~5 superdays (with an offer):
Quality > Quantity.
The most you will ever get asked about one of your internships is "describe what you did there" or "tell me about a deal you worked on." And this is a two minute answer, maximum. There's no marginal benefit for spreading yourself thin and not being able to answer competently to this question.
I would consider doing it ONLY if you have no experience freshman summer and have a gap on your resume.
I would not because you could never explain it on your resume. You have access to confidential information from two different firms and it would take one glance to realize that you kept it a secret because no one would be ok with this for an intern (in my view).
