Hello all! I’m a current undergraduate junior and am choosing between two internship (“Company X” and “Company “Y”) offers for this coming summer. I’ve never been great at making the hard decisions, and thought it’d be best to reach out to all of you for any input.
Company X is healthcare consulting and was thus early in the cycle, and offered me a position back around Thanksgiving. I accepted, having no other alternative at the time.
Company Y is biotech sales and offered me a position last week. I applied to both companies at the same time, but this one had a much longer interview process. I decided to continue with it primarily to make connections.
Here is my dilemma:
“Y” is a large and reputable name (5000-10000 employees), is in my home US city, and has offered a wage 20% higher than “X”. “X” is more of a niche firm (500-1000 employees), but is known within that niche and would involve relocating to one of the largest metropolitan centers in the US. I think I like the culture and potential work at “X”, and especially being a STEM student and unable to travel abroad, this could be a very exciting experience to move away temporarily. That said, I’m not sure if it is worth the 20% less wage coupled with rent in that expensive area, versus higher wage and no rent if living at home and commuting to “Y”. Furthermore, I’m not sure how they’ll look different on my resume (going for some kind of healthcare/biopharma career) Also, I worry that leaving “X” after having committed 2 months ago will damage by reputation, integrity, and connections there.
What are some ways you all have developed to make informed decisions? Could I postpone the “Y” internship until next summer (would not accepting and then reapplying hurt my chances next year?)? Is the experience worth more than the money in the long run? Are they looked out differently? If going with “Y”, how do I tell “X”?
I appreciate all your help, and am happy to answer questions. Thank you!
