Should I Take a Delta Airlines Co-op Offer?
Hey guys,
I'm a current freshman at a top-tier engineering school that is a non-target for BB and a target for regional banks. I am majoring in Industrial & Systems Eng. (basically math, stats, econ, finance, and comp sci all rolled into one). I was recently offered a co-op with Delta where I would evaluate their engine assembly facility and do analysis on the line to find possible improvements. Lost of optimization, statistics, and soft skill development, as I'll be working with over 2000 plant operators. If I take this co-op, I will still be able to intern my summer after Junior year, but I'll lose the opportunity to intern next summer (sophomore year). Delta will give me unlimited free flights, I'll be paid an average amount (think $15-$20), and in case banking doesn't work out I'll have awesome experience to fall back on. On the other hand, I believe I can get a banking internship next summer with STRH, Wells Fargo, Deutsche Bank (regional office), or RBC as I have strong connections to all of the.
What do you guys think? Should I take the co-op, travel the world, and still have a chance at banking my junior year, or should I pass on the offer, keep working my part-time job while taking classes, and try to get an IB internship next summer and build on it? Sorry for the length of the post. I wanted to be thorough.
Thanks for the consideration.
I'd take the co-op. This way if you get a summer internship between junior and senior year and hate it, you can still fall back on that. Not only that but 15-20 an hour while in school plus free flights is pretty awesome.
Dude, I would totally take this offer. Unlimited flights is an awesome perk for a college kid. Plus you're being paid on top of all of this. In any future BB interviews, you'll be able to talk about all of the cool shit you've done. Easy choice in my opinion.
Take it. Congrats man.
