Sophomore corp-dev internship -- Helpful for Junior SA IBD?

Hi WSO,

I just received an offer to work in Corp Dev at an F500 TMT company. How well will this internship prepare me well for Junior Year SA IBD recruiting? Would it be better to get an IBD/PE internship?

Thanks in advance.

 

It would be better to get an IBD or PE internship, however a corp dev internship can also be a great experience. What will your role be? Will you get to work on M&A?

Someone from my school had a F250 Corp Dev internship where they heavily worked on M&A and valuation. They were able to land a top MM offer and will be returning despite a sub 3.5 GPA, but I will say this isn't that common
