Hi everyone,

I'm in my 2nd year in uni, and i'm currently looking out for a finance related summer internship, however I still don't know what kind of role I am really interested in, nor do I have much knowledge about the various fields in the industry.
Other than IB, what would be the next best option in finance? As of now, I am pretty keen on private banking, so where should I try interning at? The major banks probably won't hire a 2nd year, so would i stand a chance at the boutique banks?

Also, apart from IB, what other fields in finance would make breaking into private equity or venture capital more possible?

On a side note, I have a internship offer at a company mainly dealing with insurance, and although the internship is supposedly in wealth management, I have my doubts as this is not an internship at a bank, but rather an insurance company. Could anyone shed some light on the difference, if any, on WM at an insurance company and at a bank?

Thank you.
