Play it safe (Transaction Services) or gamble (CF)
Hi guys,
Im currently doing an internship in Big4 TS (regional office) and need to decide which division to choose (London). As I am in TS plus the fact that TS take in more grads than CF, one part of me wants me to pick that division just because I should be offered a job unless I screw up badly. On the other hand, I want to work in CF, but the market is horrible so they aren't taking in that many new people from what I've heard.
Any thoughts would very appreciated! I need to decide by Wednesday.

Well if what you really want to do is corporate finance, then it would be stupid to ride the brake at this point.
On the other hand, if you're generally indifferent between the two, it would be pretty dumb to take a large avoidable risk here.
I don't understand...are you starting the internship now or finishing? Do you have a choice for the internship between TS and CF, or are you in TS? If you have a choice now, I would intern in CF, and then if it looks unlikely that you will get an offer in CF, try to leverage your experience into a TS full-time offer. You don't absolutely have to work in the same division FT as the one you interned in.
I think he's interning in TS right now and has an opportunity to interview from within the company for a FT offer in TS or CF.
Go for the one you want. You'll kick yourself in a few years if you don't and are stuck in a job you don't want to be doing.
