Help, very important

Ok, situation: Got into Cornell full-time MBA program.

I was just made an offer by my firm that's something like this: first 6 months I will be under a trader learning the structuring of some structured EM products. Then I will get introduced to selling it. After which, I can choose between S & T although right now they prefer me to go into S.

The other option is they want to keep so are willing to give me an internship between my first and second year.

What do you guys think? Should I go and take the internship? Im worried that the same excitement won't be there after a year and I'll be missing out on the chance to get involved from the ground up.

Go to Cornell and try to get Blackstone summer internship

I think he was trying to make a job. Albeit a poor one. Blackstone doesn't do S&T, so he might as well tell you to get a job at Proctor & Gamble.

A guaranteed summer internship from your current firm is no big deal. BUT, see if you can get them to sponsor you for school. It's rare, but I know banks that have done that. If they want you badly enough then try to convince them to give you money towards school, with guaranteed job for both summer and full-time.

If they won't sponsor you, then no worries. And even if they do, if you decide in b-school that you want to change firms or even industries, that's easy. Just convince the firm you eventually go to pay back any commitment you have to your current firm. Plenty of people do it. Good luck.
