Stay in REPE Internship or Seed VC intern for less $

Currently at a REPE @ 13.50/hr and the offer at the VC is 10/hr.

REPE summary= 200-300mm with new funding round under way. Have been apart of deals from initial analysis to DD with 3 currently in DD.

VC summary= Seed Capital for mostly prerev, 10-20 mm fund size. Not nearly as much modeling.

End goal is IB or Consulting SA next summer. I go to a top 50 semi-target. I like the REPE but do not want to do real estate long term and have been here close to a year (11 months).

Would staying a the REPE better help my chances next summer or would it cause me to get pigeonholed into real estate focused groups? Which should I go with the REPE or VC?

 

It's just an internship don't worry about being pigeonholed. Do whichever you prefer. I don't think switching internships will look good though on the resume.

Personally I'd do the VC but that's cause I love VC..
