Hi there,

Personally I would go for 12 months minimum with a single company (the one you like the most/ with stronger brand). I see the following advantages:

• More learnings on key areas (each time you start with a company you will have to spend some time getting used to it and to the general structure)
• More opportunities to create deeper relationships
• More opportunities to learn about the company – you may like it a lot and decided to stick there longer
• More likely some seniority may be recognized at MBB
• If you choose the company you like the most in terms of projects/people, you will work more on what you enjoy most/people you like
• Hopefully this will be irrelevant, but it would also be a better backup option if MBB won’t work again and you want to apply again in the future

Additionally, if you choose the company with the stronger brand, that should make it easier to be invited to MBB (you can check how likely looking on LinkedIn if people move from there to MBB).

Hope this helps,

Francesco

Hey there,

I'd definitely go for the longer option, mainly for two reasons:

1. Learning and impact. As with every new job, it takes a while to get used to. Switching after a few months comes at the worst possible period. At that point you have found into your role, know how the firm works, build a network, and are able to actually provide value to clients and your company. Leaving at this point would reset that learning experience.
2. Consistency on the resume: You want to demonstrate that you can work at one company for longer rather than job-hop around.

Cheers,

Florian

Hi there,

It's our pleasure!

In regards to your question, I agree with the other coaches - all things equal, you should go for the single role. You'll develop more and should get a wide range of projects.

That said, brand/company/industry etc all matter. So, right now we're assuming all 3 of these boutiques are the exact same offering the exact same internship!

It's worth digging a bit deeper to see which one will really mentor you the best, give you the best opportunities/projects, etc. etc.

Hi, I recommend going for the longer option, it's going to become a more solid experience to leverage in your cv

Best,
Antonello
