Freshman, Second Internship: Business Analytics at healthcare business vs Investment Consulting
Dear,
I'm a freshman studying at a non-target. I'm an international student from Korea, and pursuing finance industry, hopefully IB, PE, or management consulting.
I'm currently interning for a Search Fund business (small scale PE) as a summer research analyst, and I recently got an internship offer from a healthcare business. The CEO, who gave me the offer, said I can do the work I wanna do, such as business analytics/strategy (ex. discussing the company's business strategy with the CEO), or finance stuff (ex. anlyzing the accounting book and spot where the company is losing and winning money and pitch a forecast). Sounds like a solid opportunity as I can do what I desire to do. He also knows many people in finance such as hedge fund and private equity to introduce me.
I also have a coffee chat with MD at Investment Consulting firm this Monday. If lucky enough, I might get an internship offer, as he seemed interested in my profile. If I get an offer from this firm, then I'll have to choose one between the two.
Which one do you think is a better option for me considering my background?
Hey Younghoon, I'm here because nobody responded to this thread after a few days...maybe one of these resources will help you:
Fingers crossed that one of those helps you.

Great work man, with internships this early hopefully you can keep rolling them to bigger, better things, that's also what I hope to do. In your positions, I would 100% hope the MD gives you an offer and then take that. I think that internship is a better movement towards finance/ib/pe if that's what you're looking for.
Thanks for your insight! I just a coffee chat with him, and it went pretty well. He said he will bring my position as a sub-topic in a meeting, and he'll let me know how it goes. Fair to say I have a good chance to get an offer. But how do you think about the healthcare business though? I can ask what I wanna do, and get the results I want.
Well personally I'm not very interested in it, but if you are then it sounds like a very solid starting place, especially if you go into it looking at it as a way to determine if you would rather pursue healthcare.
Thanks, I am not really interested in healthcare business domain, but I am pursuing management consulting, IB, PE, HF, etc. Considering this, I thought I can get a grasp of how business in general works and equip myself a business strategy insight. Of course, investment consulting group sounds like a good chance for me to be directly exposed to finance domain. So basically I'm in between business strategy or investment consulting. What's your thought?
