Hi Everyone,
I am currently a junior at a top 10 school and have a question regarding which internship offer I should take in order to have the best shot at FT IBD recruiting in the fall.
What I currently have on the table are:
-Boutique IB Internship in NYC
-Boutique PE Internship in NYC
-Investment Fund Internship in a Frontier Market
I didn't want to name the particular frontier market for privacy's sake, but I am leaning towards that particular option right now. Here is my line of thinking:
There are probably hundreds, if not thousands, of kids out there with Boutique IB/PE internships looking to make a FT move into a BB/EB Investment Bank. If I did the same, I would not be able to differentiate myself, but if I went off the beaten path and did an internship in a Frontier Market, it would at least make my resume seem more interesting, and potentially help me land interviews/make interviews more interesting as well, and make me a more memorable candidate overall. (On a personal note, I am also excited to do something different and explore a different part of the world)
Does my reasoning make sense or is it flawed, and I should just stick with the boutique IB internship?
I see your point regarding the frontier market role...but the NYC jobs allow you to network all summer....As many have said, if you want IB, do IB, especially if the location is better.
