Rate this Job - Sophomore

Hi guys, I might have an opportunity at attaining the position below. I am currently a sophomore with experience at UBS doing cold calling. Given that I'll have the gpa etc to get banking interviews next summer, how much will this help? I am hoping to also get boutique ib over the summer.

Thanks

 

That's a subjective question, I would give it a 0/10 because if the group needs you for that sort of time, you would be doing little in terms of 'work.' But it's a 10/10 for networking, if you like M&A. Besides that it sounds like a typical intern job ... 'M&A Intern' is only as good as the work you are doing. Be sure you do more then push paper, make binders, and master the label maker. So, network.
