CIBC World Markets vs TD Securities S&T intern offers

Hello guys,

I have a dilemma right now. I have been offered both summer internships at CIBC and TD in sales & trading. I know it's a good dilemma to have, but I just want to make sure to take the best decision. The first one is in Montreal and is solely in sales, but I would touch every desks while the other one is in Toronto and it would be focused on one desk. What makes me doubt is that I've heard that it is simply amazing at CIBC and it does feel like it after I met the the executive directors and MDs. TD has the reputation and is growing fast in the US (internationally as well). It seems like they really want me to join their team ( many MDs called me to ask me if I needed some help to make the decision and if I want to discuss about it as they know I have other offers) ;I even got to meet the head of FX North America yesterday to discuss about it (fx is what I want to do).

I would be the only intern at cibc so greater chance to convert to full-time while at TD, we are 8 I believe and it would be a little bit harder to get the offer even though I'm sure I would get it. (still a risk to consider) Let me know what you think! The deadline is tomorrow ahah.

Thanks guys!

Sales & Trading Career Roadmap (optional)

“John listened before giving advice. I told him I had accepted an offer at Bank of America but was still interested in JLL and Wellington. Instead of telling me what to do, he asked what I wanted from my career and helped me think about which path would give me more options. I also liked that he was honest about what he knew and didn’t know. He gave me a clear reason to keep working toward JLL, while reminding me that Bank of America was still a good place to start. When I practiced my interview answer, he told me what worked and gave me one simple way to improve it. That made the feedback easy to use. Most of all, John made me feel less stressed about figuring everything out right now. He offered to help with a mock interview too, which meant a lot to me. ”

Sales & Trading Mock Interview

“The mentor provided extremely detailed and thoughtful feedback throughout our session. What I appreciated most was that the advice was not generic. He took the time to understand my background, past experiences, and the specific roles I am currently recruiting for, and then tailored his suggestions accordingly. He also connected many of his recommendations to his own professional background and experiences, which made the feedback much more practical and credible. Instead of simply telling me what to change, he explained why certain answers or approaches would be more effective and how an interviewer might interpret them. He also shared specific examples from his own experience to illustrate his points. I came away from the session with a much clearer understanding of both my strengths and the areas I should improve, as well as several concrete ways to strengthen my interview preparation. Overall, the session was extremely helpful, personalized, and actionable, and I would definitely work with him again.”
