<p>I've got an internship possibility at a firm called Oppenheimer & Co.
I can't seem to find legitimate reviews on sites such as vault.com and what not, and I was wondering whether the firm is well respected within the I-banking circle. Furthermore, I was wondering whether anyone has had an internship experience with the firm. If you do, please share. (Note: I have zero i-banking experience).</p>
<p>Oppenheimer & Co. is not an investment bank.</p>
<p>Isn't Oppenheimer an asset management firm? Or maybe it's brokerage.</p>

<p>god your stupid...yes offense.</p>
<p>First learn what division it's for... private wealth management, investment management, alternative/hedge fund...etc</p>
<p>Oppenheimer was acquired by CIBC World Markets, the investment bank. They are listed under the vault guide (around 24th place).</p>
<p>Thanks for all your help.
Didn't really appreciate the "stupid" comment, but hey, I think I'm doing good concerning internships for a high schooler...</p>
<p>sorry for the harsh comment.</p>
<p>You're a high schooler? The deal is, you will probably need one good internship before you graduate college.
Getting subpar internships now (which will be almost impossible) will not help you much. Much much much more important is to learn more about the industry, subscribe at the student special rate at wsj.com, etc.</p>
<p>Also, hunting for internships takes boatloads of time and effort. Don't mess up your grades and consequently your chances at a top heavily-recruited college over this.</p>
<p>And try to refrain from using the term "i-banking." I assure you that the oppenheimer people will laugh if you come up to them asking for an "i-banking internship." Like someone said, learn the industry, learn the divisions, etc.</p>
<p>This is very good advice. I think it more than offsets my rudeness. :)</p>
<p>oppenheimer is no where close to a sub par internship. if its the main office in nyc, you would certainly learn a lot and get to meet people who would teach you lots of stuff.</p>
<p>experience is the best teacher. all those vault guides, wall street journal, cnbc wouldn't help you as much as on the job</p>
<p>congrats amdworld,
how did you get this opportunity?
I'm also searching for something along those lines and I will graduate from high school this year.</p>
<p>for a high schooler there is no such thing as a "sub-par" internship. Experience is invaluable, get whatever experience you can and leverage that to get better internships once you are in university. You can also use your experience as an intern (especially as an unpaid one) to help you get into a top university. admissions committees like kids who worked part time jobs and still got excellent grades, and they will like someone who worked for free and still got excellent grades even better (this is of course assuming that you will keep your grades up).</p>
