Hi,
I’m interning at a Big4 accounting firm for the next few months and expect to be exposed to the pricing of financial instruments/real estate and risk modeling. However, I’m in a less technical role and will mostly be working on the tax implications involving these concepts and tax modeling. I would like to apply for quant trader and developer internships this fall and was wondering if this experience should take precedence over a technical project or leadership for applications.
Other professional experience are a technical research assistant position and two developer internships so I plan to keep those in. Right now, I have a month-long software project, a more long-term project I’m building currently, and some leadership positions that I would like to showcase. However, I’m afraid I will only have room to either showcase one project or cut my leadership section if I keep the Big4 experience. Does anyone have insight into whether quant/HFT firms will value my financial experience enough to cut out a technical project on my application, or should I just leave this internship out? Thanks!
