Hey Preplounge community,
I am currently in my 2nd semester at the University of St. Gallen and would probably like to enter consulting and possibly PE at a later point in time. This week, I received 2 acceptances for summer internships:
1. at Alvarez & Marsal in the Transaction Advisory Group (i.e. M&A).
2. at KPMG in the area of ESG Reporting/Strategy.
Which of these two options would you guys consider more beneficial for a career in consulting?
Thanks in advance!

Yeah thank you. I translated the text now

Thank you for your feedback Ian. The reason I am leaning more towards A&M is 1. The stronger connection of A&M to consulting. While KPMG obviously is the bigger brand and name, its reputation is associated rather with accounting. 2. I am not sure about this point but in my perception I viewed the area of M&A as slightly more helpful for other jobs in the future perhaps. 3. After having done an internship at A&M already I might have better chances of doing another one in the key area of A&M so Restructuring.
Like I said, you can't go wrong with either! (I said I personally "lean" KPMG...just "lean"). You need to evaluate what you value/prioritize most and go with that. (Sounds like you have already decided A&M, which is great!)
