Career Resources
Navigating the decision between IB, ER, and S&T internships is crucial, especially considering your long-term goals and current skill set. Here's a breakdown to help guide your decision:
IB (Investment Banking):
Markets (S&T):
Research (Equity Research - ER):
Given your long-term goals and the pros and cons of each division, IB seems to align most closely with your aspirations, despite the steep learning curve. It offers the broadest skill set and network beneficial for Consulting, Venture Capital, or entrepreneurial ventures. However, if the technical learning curve and competitive nature of IB are daunting, especially with your upcoming exams, ER could be a strategic choice. It offers a balance of market understanding and financial analysis, with a slightly less intense technical demand compared to IB.
Ultimately, consider where you can see yourself thriving, not just surviving. Each division offers unique opportunities and challenges, and aligning them with your career aspirations and current capabilities will guide you to the right decision.
