Goldman Sachs SA internship or full time job?

Hi, recently I just got an offer with a regional bank doing finance. But not too long ago, I did some networking and ended up getting an offer from Goldman Sachs in HK through a friend. The problem is I am graduating soon and I have already accepted the offer with the regional bank to start this summer. This would conflict with the summer analyst position I was also offered at Goldman Sachs.

The dilemma here is that I am graduating in 2 months and the fact that Goldman Sachs is much more widely known compared to the regional bank I will be working in. Also, I will be put into one of the IBD division so the stuff I learn will be more relevant.

What should I do? Do you think I should go with GS and rescind my offer with my regional bank or stick to my original plan and start work with my regional bank in the summer? I know it's not always the best thing to do to rescind your offer once you've accepted it. My decision has been back and forth and I really need help on what I should do.

Thanks!

 

Here are your options: stick with the regional bank doing boring back office work but having great job security. Or you take the Goldman gig and bust your ass off so you get a full time offer and have many more opportunities through both your work and the people you meet at GS...I say u take goldman because u are young and you can afford to take on some risk.
