<p>Hey guys</p>
<p>i have a serious problem. I am a finance major (sophomore) and am currently looking for internship opportunities. So here is the situation</p>
<p>Though a contact, i managed to land a position at American express but with many caveats.</p>
<li>Its marketing</li>
<li>Its unpaid</li>
<li>Its in London</li>
<li>Its not an official internship, but rather just real work</li>
<li>I was referred to as just another pair of hands and bright mind around the office</li>
</ol>
<p>Now so far this is the only definite thing i have locked in. I have been in talks with many other firms though, such as Bank of New York Mellon,where i would get an asset servicing internship, paid development program in Pittsburgh which works for me.</p>
<p>I am also awaiting decisions from a few other places but this is where i stand as of now. the amex thing is locked and the BNY thing needs an interview before they accept me.</p>
<p>the amex thing however needs a decision by this weekend. this is driving me a bit crazy especially since my parents want me to do AMEX.</p>
<p>Please give some sort of advice or any info that can help me make the best decision.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
