Goldman Sachs vs PwC Internship Offers
Hey Guys,
So I am looking for a Fall-Winter Internship, and have 2 offers that I can't seem to be able to decide on.
Both the offers are for 6 months from September this year to March next.
Offer 1: Goldman Sachs, San Francisco. Private Wealth Management Internship
Offer 2: PwC, Philadelphia. Risk Assurance Internship
Goldman pays slightly more, but PwC will end up paying more, factoring in Overtime & cost-of-living. I think interning at PwC also mean a good chance of getting hired on graduation.
I'm going to be graduating in 2019 (also current CGPA is 3.98) from a semi-target. I'm an international student, so being able to have an offer from PwC after college is very reassuring.
I can probably ignore the pay, and I think I would enjoy work at GS a little more. It comes down to getting a good FT position on graduation. How much of an advantage would having Goldman on the resume be in terms of getting hired after I graduate, vs outright getting hired by PwC? How about mobility to different fields once I start FT, and exit opportunities?
Any help is appreciated. Please do not have a bias against PwC just because it is a Big4 and not a big bank.
lol you should start off by changing your username and picture to something anonymous
Thanks, done
a September to March internship in a city other than your school? what is going on here?
It will be a full-time internship and I will not be taking classes during that period.
Ultimately depends on what you're looking to do out of college. Your tag line says IB – 2nd year analyst, but you're saying you're graduating in 2019 from what I'm assuming is undergrad, so there's a bit of confusion there.
All depends on what career trajectory you're looking to follow. Depending on that answer, Goldman/PwC will guide you in different places. If you're looking specifically for an internship that will give you a FT offer upon graduation, Big 4 are notorious in that in comparison to PWM gigs (to my knowledge), at least in NYC.
Needless to say, with firms like GS/PwC on your resume, your prospects for job hunting are much better. It'll help to fine-tune what you're looking for long-run before making a decision here, imo.
