Law intern experience worth it for Quant?

Dear WallStreetOasis,

I am an aspiring quant and have a quick question regarding resume building. I have a short law intern opportunity this coming Winter, Dec to Jan, and wondered would it be worth it take it. It is in Singapore, at a 20-year old law firm, and I'll be doing 'Commercial Litigation'.

Honestly, many said I need to put in a lot of hard work to get a quant position and if this includes a winter intern and not slacking with family for the festivities, so be it. But is it worth it to have it on my resume? Really, it's between this or say improving my C++ chops and PDE knowledge via self-study after which i can still chill with Moms in the living room.

Get the internship or not?

For a quant it definitely won't help

Thanks for the reply.

The website advertises themselves as providing "a full spectrum of legal serviceswhich include corporate finance,mergers and acquisitions,litigation建议。”认为这is a good way to get any experience and network.

But what you say also got a point. I do wanna go full quant and a good 4 weeks over the winter reading some books on PDEs would also serve me well. :)

One of those lights, slightly brighter than the rest, will be my wingtip passing over.
