<p>I haven't started college yet and one of my connections says he can hand me a non-NYC internship at a BB firm. This summer will probably be meaningless (~3 week internship) but right after freshman year I can go back home and get started instantly.</p>
<p>I understand that a newly minted high school grad probably wont get much meaningful work handed to him, even more so because of the length of time available.</p>
<p>Any experience is valuable experience, but how do you think this'll improve my chances of eventually ending up in NYC?</p>
<p>It definitely won’t hurt you. To have an internship of quality so early will definitely give you a leg up on the other students applying for positions - essentially, you should be able to leverage this freshman summer internship into a better internship as a soph and then a solid SA internship as a junior (if not as a soph - since with some solid internship experience and a decent - semi target or better - school, you’ll definitely have some SA internship possibilities as a soph).</p>
<p>PM me if you have any other questions.</p>
