haha what are you talking about man who the hell did you work for
honestly i don't think you can spin it.
Just spit it out. Is it Financial Technologies? It's not your fucking fault for the banks bad rap, it's the dick head MD's running the joint. I guarantee you're not going to catch shit about it.
Bell and nycIBD I sent you private messages.
GOB, if "spinning" it means turning it into GS, then, no, of course I can't spin it. But I want to land a freaking internship at GS/MS/JPM and think most of my resume fits the bill... so I'm addressing my main concern.
Sounds like a pretty good sophomore year internship to me.
you got to do valuation work and worked on a closed $100m deal. odds are nobody has ever even heard of the bank, much less have any awareness of any shady practices going on there. emphasize what a good learning experience it was, never say anything about it being "bad investment banking". you got a good experience.
Feel free to send me a PM as well, I've been in a similar situation.
Unless you worked as Allen Stanford's personal accountant or Bernie Madoff's special personal ethics advisor, I don't think any bank's reputation will EVER work against you. It is inconceivable to me that banks will look at your experience and go: "this guy worked at FTP as a sophomore. What a loser."
In fact, unless you are Allen Stanford's personal accountant or Bernie Madoff's special personal ethics advisor (or if your name is Allen Stanford or Bernie Madoff), you are in one of the most privileged positions today. Having ANY, and I mean ANY kind of RELEVANT internship before you even apply for a SUMMER INTERNSHIP is a huge leg up. Plenty of people turn sophomore experience at shops like FTP and Viant intp coveted BB internships. In fact, plenty of people turn summer internships at FTP and Viant and whatnot into coveted BB full-time offers.
So get your head out of your ass.
You have a 3.9 at HYP and banking experience. If it wasn't a 2 man chop shop doing 5 million dollar deals it is fine. You are way ahead of the game.
Another word of advice - dont ever bad mouth your former employer or employees during an interview.
Banking is an insanely small world.
