Internship choice: PWM vs Israeli VC vs JPMorgan AM
So I'm an incoming sophomore at a semi-target school majoring in applied math. I'm deciding between three internships for next summer (2020):
-PWM internship at smaller firm in NYC suburb, deals mostly with ultra high net worth clients
-Venture Capital internship in Israel, would be with a high-tech incubator and VC fund
-JPMorgan asset management internship, have not been offered this yet but am in the process of interviewing
Already have offers at the first two. Right now I'm leaning towards the VC in Israel since it's buyside experience but the other two seem really appealing and useful as well, especially since they're in the U.S.
Any advice?
I'd do Israel. Did you get it through Onward or Excel? Or just on your own? Pretty cool opportunity and you get to live abroad for the summer so I'd jump on it. If you're recruiting for banking PWM is very average, won't jump out, but being close to NY you can schedule coffee chats which can be incredibly helpful. Personally I would do VC>AM>PWM.
I would definitely do the VC. The JPM would help if you want to do IB at JPM as it’s easier to lateral than to break in, but the VC in Israel is going to make your resume stand out way more because it’s unique. Also, VCs are generally super connected and they will likely be able to help you with recruiting for your junior summer.
