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!
What type of work would you be doing as a "Finance Intern"? If high level stuff, I'd probably go with that. If lower level stuff, go with RBS
Open areas in Corporate Accounting, Portfolio Management Reporting & Analysis and Shareholder Services
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
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'd say go with UBS RE, as RogerSterling mentioned above. Heavy emphasis at UBS on their AM / WM businesses, as that has been there bread and butter for years. I'd take that. Probably put the SAC internship second.
If you have any sort of interest in real estate at all, should be a no-brainer. If you don't like real estate, you'd still be able to spin some good stories on your resume as your exposure in that role will be much broader compared to the others.
UBS if you like RE, otherwise go with Hartford.
Are these all offers or hypotheticals? huge diff there.
UBS or SAC if you want to be unemployed in about a year.
UBS AM isn't going anywhere anytime soon. If anything, UBS is going to grow in the AM space, because all of those cuts to IBD/S&T are shifting resources to AM/PB/WM.
Any other thoughts?
