Investment banking intern vs MFE?

[zzwang]

Hi guys,

Just a quick question, does investment banking internship (the kind that does M&A) help with MFE application? I have landed a BB investment banking internship, but I am also actively preparing for MFE, and I am wondering how useful this internship will be. Any thoughts would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

if you can do banking, don't bother with mfe

Thanks for the advice.
I might not enjoy banking tho, and even if I do, it might not be easy to get a return offer.

It's probably marginally beneficial because it speaks to your ability to get a job on finishing the program, and these programs like to have good placement statistics. But it doesn't matter anyway because if even if it did absolutely nothing, you wouldn't decide to not do the internship based on that.

Take both whenever you can.
