<p>So I am an accounting and economics major. I just got an internship offer from JP Morgan as a Business Operation Intern. It deals with mostly Excel and Settling Trades. The other option I have is a Finance Intern at Raymond James that deals with portfolios and alternative investments. Which internship is good to take in order to be accepted to a top 25 MBA school later down the road or will lead to the most opportunity and cash later on when I graduate. Also which one is more marketable, I plan on moving out to Northeast or Califorinia. This is my last year to take an internship and I live in Florida, so there's not that many options. JPMorgan pays $21/hr plus $2000 stipend for 10 weeks and Raymond James pay is 15/hr. Also does anybody know the starting salary for either of these positions? Also I do not have any aspiration to work in the front office. So any help is beneficial.</p>
<p>Raymond James. The JPM one is a back office position, while Raymond James one sounds like something that involves research (though I’m not sure). I would recommend that you always take a front office position over a back office position (even if the back office is Goldman).</p>
<p>starwin - what is your interest? What do you want to do when you graduate? I am familiar with Raymond James and I am also familiar with Operations.</p>
