Which Sophomore Internship Will Look Best?
I'm seeking internship advice for my sophomore summer (2021). I am exploring my options and was wondering which internship would set me up best in recruiting for an IB SA position at an EB/MM bank my junior summer (2022). I go to a non-target but have networked with alum and made connections which have resulted in upcoming interviews at a LMM PE firm as well as a regional boutique investment bank (really small, less than 15 employees). I am also considering applying for PWM internships. Given a best-case scenario and I have offers for all three, which will give me the better experience and look best on a resume in the eyes of a recruiter? Appreciate any and all feedback.
So I'm assuming that the PE firm and the PWM firms have relatively good brand names. Honestly, I would say go with the PE firm on the face of it because that sounds to have the most transferable experience, however I don't know what you would be doing at the boutique so I could be wrong. If they give you solid valuation and pitch deck work, I would take it with the only other factor being notoriety. Good luck.
The PE firm definitely has the better name. The level of experience was also my concern for the boutique. With everything going on and how the economy is I don't know how much valuation and pitch deck work I would be getting and whether or not it would be solid because of its size (it is also M&A focused so I am not sure how much activity they will be having). I appreciate the feedback.
Well, for deal flow is going to be hurt for both because of the economy. But I'm in the camp that says next year deal flow will pick up as things go back to normal and M&A in particular will be accelerated. Though that is just me.
I've been reading a lot and have seen that people expect M&A activity to accelerate by the time I would start but I wasn't sure if that only applied to the more well known banks or if it applied to boutiques as well. I guess I will just have to pay close attention to see their level of activity compared to the rest of the industry. Thanks again.
