Working as intern at Yale investments office vs Girls Who Invest Program
Which is the way to go to maximize learning opp? Which would lead to more opps in the future? Girls who invest basically teaches you finance for 4 weeks before setting you up with a 6 week internship among an impressive list of firms but Yale investment’s office has Swensen as its leader. I can’t post a link to girls who Invest’s website because I don’t have enough bananas, but it’s pretty well established and I know many people who tried it and loved it. This would be for sophomore summer btw
^^ lol at that first comment and a huge wtf
I'd take Yale but you probably can't go wrong depending on the firms that have an agreement with the Girls Who Invest program. You probably go to Yale given you got that internship...you'll be fine either way.
GWI is one of the highest-impact opportunities a college student could undertake -- I highly recommend it. Biggest question is how much control you would have over placement, but some of these sophomore buy-side programs are exclusive to GWI, and it's a great way to gain access to (1) the resources, network, and mentorship structure that GWI really focuses on building; and (2) a more general investing platform that might open different doors down the line.
I don't think you can go wrong either way! Congrats :)
Looking at the list of firms - damm I wish I had a pussy.
