Big 4 Audit, Advisory, IBD?
yo guys I am a sophomore finance and accounting major at a business school that ranks in the bottom half of the top 100. I have also just completed a 6 month finance/accounting co-op with Johnson and Johnson. GPA 3.5
I recently attending E&Y's Emerging Leaders Program and was offered an internship in assurance-external audit.. They are letting me choose if I want to take the internship in the Summer of 2012 or Summer 2013... I will graduate in the Summer of 2014 with 150 credits. (5 year double major)
I have a few questions...
Should I take the internship 2012 or 2013?
I was also asked if i was interested in advisory (which I am, Real Estate Transaction stands out the most to me) and if i was, I would have to take a 2nd round interview that consisted of a written portion and case study. Should I have went for it? I was thinking maybe I could intern in audit in 2012 and then advisory in 2013.
3.Finally, could I get an internship in investment banking with the experience I have had with great companies so early in my career? No IB's recruit at my school but I am also my schools mascot so I am hoping that will make me stand out

Did you already say no to the advisory job? You had to do a case study, are you in Europe?
No they did not conduct the 2nd rd interviews for advisory yet and this is in the US
I would go ahead and interview for them if you can. It sounds like a better opportunity than a regular audit gig, and if you are also considering a finance role in the future it would probably be better.
thanks for the advice prospectivemonkey.. but what is BB IBD and MM firms?
I would suggest trying to go for the advisory role straight away if you want to eventually get into IB... If you're not sure whether IB is what you want to do, I would say go for the two different internships in subsequent years and give yourself a chance to see what you enjoy more.
If your end goal is IB definitely try to do advisory asap. I would NOT do an audit internship your junior year if you want to work in banking, do something more relevant (i.e. corporate/commercial banking creidt analyst internship, F500 finance, etc)
did you say you are you schools mascot? that changes everything.
