<p>Which one would you choose for an internship?</p>
<p>What's your career goal? PWM is very limiting unless you want to do that job in the future.</p>
<p>I want to take the easiest path towards a top 5 MBA program making great money during my journey. I know PWM is limited as far as getting hands on experience in real financial work, but GS would look very good on any resume. Plus, the money is great. As far as GS PWM MBA placements, I have no clue. For GE FMP, I heard that it's really prestigious, but the pay is somewhat low with no bonus. No clue about MBA placements either. What's your take on this?</p>
<p>I don't know what the GE job entails but I do know that GS PWM will not impress any employer unless you're looking for a job in WM. As someone who hires for corp finance/M & A, I would never see PWM as a stepping stone to a job in my area.</p>
<p>Hey hmom5. To be honest, I really don't want to do M&A, working 100+ hrs a week is just not appealing to me. But, since you don't know much about GE FMP tell me about GS PWM. Is it not a suitable career to pursue when trying to attend one of the top 5 MBA programs? I know salary is around 60-65, but, how is the bonus these days? Do you think that PWM or AM will be a lucrative career field in the future?</p>
<p>Bonus will depend on what you produce. I think PWM can be very lucrative if you're very good and very connected. It take time to build a good client base, but if you can do that, many enjoy it and indeed the hours aren't bad.</p>
<p>Many get into it and see that the uphill climb is more then they want to take on, so I see a lot of resumes from folks looking for a different career path.</p>
<p>Thanks hmom5. So, does anyone know anything about General Electric's financial management program?</p>
<p>I was in touch with HR from GE Commercial Finance in CT a few weeks ago and they said that they are not doing their FMP program this year b/c of budgeting issues. I don't know if this is a national thing or local, just a heads up</p>
