Help me pick a job

Summer is getting closer and closer and I have still not locked in an internship. I am a Junior at a non target. Here is what I am currently considering in no specific order...

1. Hartford Investment Management Middle Office
2. RBS Operations
3. UBS Real Estate portfolio management
4. SAC Capital Finance intern

Thoughts on any of these positions?

Thanks for your help guys it's really appreciated!

The first two both sound awful, and the last one doesn't seem too great b/c it is just accounting and reporting. UBS RE seems like it would be pretty interesting, especially in the current RE market.

Plus with UBS all but shutting down most IBD areas and putting a larger focus on asset management, it seems like it would be the right time to snag an AM role there

I would agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.
 
athlete1010:
Could you elaborate a bit on why you wouldn't like the first option? Looked decent to me but I am certainly not the most informed when it comes to these types of roles.

When I first read this I thought it said BO, not MO. So it doesn't sound that bad. But UBS is one of the biggest names both in the US and globally in the AM space, so unless you are allergic to RE I don't see any downside if these are your only options.

I would agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.
