GS London vs Barcap HK
Offers forS&Tsummer internship inGSLondon and Barcap Hong Kong.
Originally from Hong Kong and prefer lifestyle/food etc in Hong Kong.
FeelGShas a bigger name but think Barcap is growing too.
Really want to go for Barcap Hong Kong but feel it'd be wasting a valuableGSopportunity.
Do people see bigger long term prospect if I choose to start in GS?
Opinions much appreciated! Many thanks!

GS. The name is much better, Barcap's HK office is tiny, havingGSon your resume is huge for the future.
It depends. Do you want to work inHKfor FT?GSis a better offer because itsGSand its London office is strong. Barcap is not as strong inHK因为它是在美国(they did not buy Lehman's asian assets), but Barcap gives you the best opportunity to get aFToffer inHKthrough the internship itself plus possibly making contacts onHK.
Both opportunities are great and taking one over the other will not affect yourFTrecruiting efforts or your long term career. The most important thing is that you pick the company where you have the best connection/will be doing something you enjoy or are interested in. You might want to make your decision on what you want to do in your career. As students, we love to getinternshipsand instantly think how we can "trade up". The truth is you should think of this internship as the first step of your career and not worry about the mercurial name recognition that comes withGS. Three years from now all that will matter is what you have done at your current job and no one will care where you Summer interned.
Just curious, but how did you get interviews for these positions/ when did you find out about the offers? I assume you go to a target.
Good Luck!!
Don't ever listen to the "don't worry just follow your heart" morons. Only a complete retard would turn downGoldman Sachsin London, especially for a relatively insignificant office.
