Boutique Unpaid IB vs. Corporate Banking

Hi,

To start out, my ultimate goal is to work in investment banking, for a solid firm with good pay and strong deal flow.

I'm currently set to graduate this semester from a non-target. I have 3.5 GPA, several internships in accounting, and oneIBboutique internship. I'm doing the boutiqueIB现在实习秋季及其无薪,但提供了相当不错的交易,例如创建CIM的客户调用,但是barely any financial modeling. The MD says I can continue for as long as I want in this internship until I find aFT工作。我一直在寻找FToffcycleIBjobs并且一直在接受采访,但还没有转换。但是,我已经找到了一些非常稳定的公司银行业务。尽管我的梦想是进行投资银行业务,但我担心如果我接受全职公司银行万博app网页版业务的报价,那将是支持。但是薪水很棒,我听到许多人从公司银行业务到IB. But will employers look down upon me if they see that I was in investment banking previously and then moved to corporate banking? Here are my options.

  1. Continue BoutiqueIBunpaid internship and continue to network/apply until find an investment banking job(risky because its unpaid)
  1. 接受公司银行业务之一(如果仍然想做IB,则一两年后横向)----优惠来自Citi,JPM,WF, C5(Scotia,BMO)

Thanks for the help guys

Corporate banking 100% of the time. That's not backpedaling, that's taking advantage of a an extremely solid job offer that will pay you good money and provide excellent experience. Backpedaling would be giving away your time for free at a dinky little shop and crossing your fingers the crapshoot of getting a legit gig works in your favor (unlikely, statistically)

Got it, would this be the same for C5 Corporate Banking? e.g. Scotia,BMO,CIBC

Keep in mind any real bank that is worth working for would not offer an unpaid internship.

Take the offer even if its from a C5. Corporate Banking toIB不是那么艰难,很多人都跳了起来。

If you go from a no name school to a no name bank you are basically nuking your career.
