I have a question about internships. If one were to choose between working in software development at Microsoft and working in technology application development at Goldman Sachs for the summer, which one would you choose? I have been told that banks like people with analytical skills, but I don’t know if it’s better to actually work for a IB firm to see if I like the culture there. At the same time, I’ve heard that the tech companies like Microsoft and Apple don’t feel THAT impressed if they see you interned at a financial firm’s technology division. Please give your opinions, thanks.
