Hi,

I created this account just now because I’m concerned about my choice for a summer internship now. I’m currently a rising senior and I honestly did not go to school as a financial person but I’m pretty good at it on my own. It was usually sitting at school advising friends on building credit.

I kind of through my resume everywhere because and I had three companies in the end I got offers from. Kirkland and Ellis but they only offered me Chicago and then Aflac and NWM in my home of NYC.

I ended up choosing NWM because it seemed like a much more put together company at first especially through the interview process. To me Aflac and the hiring manager were a complete joke. The guy gave me an offer on a screener interview.

So I was really only left with NWM and I accepted passed my insurance exam which I thought was a little strange of thing to take for financial advising but I thought well life insurance and disability insurance can play a role in that sort of stuff so I over looked it. I read mixed reviews at first but overlooked them and then I had a good friend of mine who approached me and told me to look more in depth and now I’m in a weird position because from looking more in depth it seems really scummy.

I don’t want to sell to my family at all and I can get some contacts from some friends but even that is a stretch for me at times. I’m only considering staying the course now at this point so I can put it on my resume. I have young fraternity alumni from my chapter which I am also president of currently trying to recruit for Vanguard so I’d sure interested in joining them come graduation in a year. He reached out after I was accepted to NWM and was looking for postgrads anyways.

I’m wondering at this point is it worth it staying the course so I can show experience for a role at Vanguard or do I call it quits and just go for a whatever job just working here in the city?

Need suggestions and plan to talk over this with my family more as well.
