VC or Corporate finance
Hey guys I'm a junior with a past IB internship at a local boutique on my resume and I also have a 3.90 as my GPA at a semi-target business school (a lot of people put it as a target school in their lists).
I currently have 2 offers on my plate: a corporate finance internship with a large firm (the job description has a lot of accounting- profit and loss analysis, variance analysis, GAAP compliance, etc.) and an internship at a local early stage and expansion VC firm (200M assets under management; they said I will get a chance to do modeling somewhat and it is a better learning experience in my opinion). I was wondering which offer I should take if I want to pursue investment banking opportunities next year when I am a senior. I'm guessing the VC one but not too sure. I plan to get an internship next fall also to make me more desirable. Any input would be helpful. Thanks
My sense is take the VC job. Is it a recognizable name? VC tends to be lauded in this current tech-frenzy environment.
Its not that big of a name. They only have 5 people working there but they're had and are making some big investments in tech
hmm, any big name investments? i'd probably go VC unless the corporate is something like GOOG/AAPL/FB or some tier 1 company in an industry you're interested in for banking
It's a consulting company that is a competitor of Deloitte and is of the same size as Deloitte. What do you think?
VC internship or Corporate Finance internship (Originally Posted: 04/22/2015)
Hey guys, I am a junior in college right now at a non-target business school looking for a summer internship position still. I want to pursue an investment banking job when I recruit for full-time next year. I have an investment banking internship on my resume at a local boutique. I am in a slight dilemma right now. I have a corporate finance internship offer expiring in 4-5 days and an interview at a venture capital firm in 1 day (The VC firm helps out early-stage companies so relatively little modeling work I'm guessing and the corporate finance internship has mostly accounting work). I also have applied to other IB-related positions but time is running out before the summer starts so I need something soon.
My question is if I were to get an offer from the VC firm should I take it over the corporate finance job? idk if that would put me in a better position for an investment banking opportunities. I've been advised from advisors to take the corporate finance one and try to spin the role into a finance one on my resume. I don't really know what to do that's why I need your help. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
