Goldman Sachs SA internship or full time job?

Hi, recently I just got an offer with a regional bank doing finance. But not too long ago, I did some networking and ended up getting an offer from Goldman Sachs in HK through a friend. The problem is I am graduating soon and I have already accepted the offer with the regional bank to start this summer. This would conflict with the summer analyst position I was also offered at Goldman Sachs.

The dilemma here is that I am graduating in 2 months and the fact that Goldman Sachs is much more widely known compared to the regional bank I will be working in. Also, I will be put into one of the IBD division so the stuff I learn will be more relevant.

What should I do? Do you think I should go with GS and rescind my offer with my regional bank or stick to my original plan and start work with my regional bank in the summer? I know it's not always the best thing to do to rescind your offer once you've accepted it. My decision has been back and forth and I really need help on what I should do.

Thanks!

 

Here are your options: stick with the regional bank doing boring back office work but having great job security. Or you take the Goldman gig and bust your ass off so you get a full time offer and have many more opportunities through both your work and the people you meet at GS...I say u take goldman because u are young and you can afford to take on some risk.

Go to the regional bank step on top of the MD desk, spit at him and tell him "IM Goldman Sachs BITCH" then leave.
I'm in transit, and this is what I dream of doing at the end of the summer.....
Get busy living
