Message: <blockquote data-quote="fkingloser" data-source="post: 294808" data-attributes="member: 44267">I'm a student at APAC, aiming to apply for MFE program for at next year.And I am planning to add some more internship experience before graduation. Currently I have two options.1. Risk management intern at one of European banks.(Think of Socgen/BNP/HSBC)2. Investment research/ Trading intern at local Crypto currency AM fund.As I see from placement statistics of MFE graduates, I think Risk management intern would have a good additional aspect of the resume when raising my chance of being admitted to good MFE program. On the other hand 2nd option I believe would not be at significant factor in resume when considering only the aspect of admission both in subject wise and name-value wise.However I have absolutely no intention of going to risk management division at IB even if I graduate MFE so if I choose the first option the only reason is that it would be more helpful toward my admission compared to the 2nd one.On the other hand, established crypto funds such as Pantera or Polychain would definitely be one of my future career aspects, and I think this experience would anyhow show my interest in the cryptocurrency trading although it won't be much helpful for my admission.To help explain my situation, currently  I have 3 summer internship experiences:1  European Universal Bank(think of HSBC/StanChart/RBS/ING) at WM division at local branch.1 European BB structuring desk - fx/rates based exotic options  (HK/SG office)I would like to receive some advice about what additional aspects I should consider when choosing between these two options, or I would appreciate it if you guys could just give recommendation with reasons.Thanks in advance<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
