Accept Offer Or Keep Looking?

Hey Everyone,

I'm a sophomore at a non-target who just received a summer internship offer at an asset management firm in SoCal (~25B AUM). However, the pay is fairly low considering I would be relocating to the area.

Prior to receiving this offer, I was interviewing for a PE firm, IC firm, and RE Consulting firm. (All of whom were either close to my home or paid substantially better)

My question - Given the Coronavirus uncertainty, would it be best for me to accept the first offer or continue recruiting? Thanks!

 

Accept. PE as a sophomore will pay you nothing, if that. Assuming this is for this summer (2020), I don’t think the investment consultants will be in a good spot considering the drop in equities (they have been heavily allocating towards them).

 

In general, you shouldn't be concerned about the pay package as a sophomore unless it's not even enough to cover rent--I assume such a fund would pay enough to get by. And almost everyone "relocates" during the summer.

 

I would accept. pretty late in the game for internships, especially competitive ones. you don’t want to risk other internships canceling or freezing hiring due to corona
