Choice between two internships

Hi guys, 

I am currently studying in a Msc in Finance in a non-target uni. 

I recently received two job offers:

-Operations intern in a real estate investment fund-->main responsibilities are Treasury, accounting, controlling, tax.

-Investment analyst. 

Operations intern in Unicredit, and investment analyst at Copernicus. 

I don't know what's best for me. I already had an intern experience in the administration of a bank and i didn't quite like it... Nonetheless UniCredit is a huge bank and i think is good for CV and networking.

Copernicus is a more little real estate investment fund, not many people know it. The cons are poor networking, not that big name for CV. But it's what I like, investment analysis.

What would you suggest?

Thanks

Considering how small the RE market in Italy is, I'd go with Copernicus. Most people in Milan would know about Copernicus and you'll have a better chance at lateraling to a better RE shop compared to doing a back office internship at Unicredit. IB it's a loooong shot, I'd stick to RE if I were you.

 

Thank you for your comment. That's what I thought too. The good pro in Unicredit is that i get the chance to work with the COO but as you said it's back-office. Even though they kind of promised me that at the end of the internship there could be more interesting positions open for me, but i don't know how much to trust them.
