Will accepting a position as an investment bank admin assistant benefit me as a student?


Administrative assistant in an investment bank?
I was offered an internship as an administrative assistant at a private investment bank. Would anyone recommend this position for a student who wants to have a career in investment banking? I would someday become like to become a portfolio manager, would this be a good start? I don't know if accepting this position will benefit me. Has anyone had any experience as an admin assistant, or could anyone tell me what they do exactly?

Thank you

I don't really know too much about being an admin assistant, but if you have a chance to get a foot in the door with any I-bank firm, and you want a career in i-banking - TAKE IT!
But, while your there try and get to know everyone and express your interest in learning more about the biz. Most of the guys are probably not even going to give you the time of day at first, but do your best to be seen and heard - ask for responsibility, take on projects - even if its something small, (nothing is beneath you) and people will notice.
Hope this helps

For sure, go ahead.
Is the best way you can start a financial carrer. I'm a financial analyst for an investment bank, is a great opportunity.
Try to combine this job with a good MBA program, your resume will be excellent.
