Freshman Internship Decision

What would be better for a freshman internship for someone looking into S&T for summer after sophomore year? - paid internship at MSSB - KPMG consulting - unsure about exact details of work

Reason I'm asking is I've heard a lot of people have said wealth management doesn't look good?

If you can't find the relationship and work comparisons between IB and wealth management, then you don't have what it takes to make it into IB. Learn your stuff before you come here and start asking questions

Also @OP, WM as a freshman won't hurt you looking for S&T as a sophomore. They're basically just looking at your previous internships to see whether you have a tangible interest in finance/markets in general - most of your success recruiting for that next internship will hinge upon networking and having a solid story as to why you're pursuing S&T.
