really need help - bb pmw or trading firm

hi,

i really, really need your opinions...i have to make a decision asap.

i have an opportunity to return to a bb pmw internship i had last summer or intern at a privately held trading firm.

people are telling me that i should go back to the bb because of the name...but then again, it's pmw. would it look like a downgrade on my resume if i went from a bb to a small trading firm?

i don't know what to do; i am currently a sophomore.

thanks in advance!

 

If you want to trade taking the trading firm. Relevent experience matters more here than the name. It will give you things to talk about during your interviews that relate more to trading.
