Deciding between internship offers
Deciding between big tech internship at Meta and bp trading internship. Bp trading intern can convert to trader development programme and meta can convert to FT but if not at least help with new grad recruiting to other tech. I’m very convicted on bp because I know I’ll enjoy it more. I just want to hear thoughts before I execute. Only thing I’m scared of is TC: meta is 200k new grad and bp is 90-100k. After three years likely still 90-100 for bp and 300-350 for meta.
Congrats dude - can’t go wrong with either imo but it’s two pretty different careers paths. I’ll let someone else talk about TDP but I’ve heard that a trader seat isn’t guaranteed after the 2-3 year rotation. Assuming that Meta offer is SWE, it’s pretty difficult to turn that down. Do you know what team ur on? Your experience will depend a lot on what team you will be with for the summer. I interned at on the reels after my freshman year and enjoyed it a lot - got to do a good amount of server side stuff. Some interns got placed on some SRE team and hated it. Obviously, if you want to do commodities, TDP no questions but Meta on ur resume looks better than a TDP intern for other markets roles imo (SnT, quant, buy side) since the SWE/engineering experience is what floors want now
Thanks for your help! I’m a little confused: how would big tech be more sought after in buy side? I can see for quant but not for the rest. I spoke to a PM at a big hedge fund and he said tech SWE feed into tech roles predominantly.
might tick off a few people but buy side wants smart people - meta swe experience tells a PM that ur probably smart/quanty; BP intern tells a PM that u got lucky in getting an interview. also depends what u want to trade - again anything commodities (and arguably discretionary macro) go TDP and dont look back. do you have one more year to recruit?
I understand that’s a good point. Yes I’m a junior rn but I don’t want to throw away Meta rashly. Really thinking deeply about this right now. I want to be in the buy side end game. Not sure if this is throwing away my chances or making them.
