Hi. I'm currently studying in Korea, and I was wondering which option would be more appealing when I'm applying for MFE programs.
I could do a lab intern in a Econometrics lab or a FE lab(top school in the country), or I could just take a 3~6month intern at an international IB Korea office(Goldman, JP Morgan etc, UBS etc).
I was wondering which would be better if my goal is to get into a top MFE program in US.
It would be great to hear what you guys think.


P.S. Not really relevant but I am currently majoring in Mechanical Eng. & Economics. & Business.
 
Bank, hands down. MFEs are about employability first.
