Hedge Fund vs BB

Career Opportunities & Internships Investment Banking

<p>Hello all,</p>

<p>I am in a dilemma at this situation. I have an offer for an accounting position at a prestigious hedge fund, and a risk control position at a BB. This is for an internship. I am currently a Junior at a non target.</p>

<p>How is the accounting division at a Hedge Fund valued as in terms of career opportunities and learning curve compared to Risk Control at a BB.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>HR from BBs will tell u that their major full time recruiting source is their internship programs, especially now that most BBs are much more “lean” and do need to recruit actively. Also with that BB on your resume your future prospects are much bigger, especially since they usually have better training programs.</p>
