Hey guys,
I'm wondering which internship would complete my resume in an adequate way for MBB entry after my master.
I already worked in BIG 4 consulting, Public Sector and Trading in a Bank.
Now I'm struggeling between these options: Bus.Dev. in a start-up, Controlling in a DAX30 company or IB in a small boutique.
What do you think would be the smartest career move?
I'm thankful for any comment!

Hi,
First of all, why don't you want to apply to MBB now? Why do you need these extra steps?
Then options:

Hey anonymous,
I agree with Vlad that the start-up is most likely your worst option.
However, I tend to disagree on the rank of the remaining two options: I would go for the controlling role. before doing my MBA, I would agree that the IB role could give you additional skills and easier to fit in consulting afterwards, but today I've a completely different view - most of my IB colleagues failed big time in securing an offer from any MBB (the skillset is completely different and I felt completely disappointed when I mcok interview them!). On the other hand, controlling, despite looking a bit boring for some people, prepare you much better for a consulting interview (you will master as few the concepts of profitability and how to play around it!).
Btw, I used to work as a financial controller for two years before joining McKinsey, so it's really first hand knowledge (and controlling is not auditing!!!).
