Hi Everyone, I am an Accounting major and currently in my 3rd year at San Jose State University. Got two internship offers for summer as 38.5 per hour and 2000 joining bonus. One offer is from PWC San Jose and other one is EY San Francisco. Any suggestions which one to take?

Is there a particular area of finance you are most interested in? EY has a better reputation in terms of culture, which is important. However, PWC does still rate slightly higher in terms of prestige. That is all perception, however. Honestly, both great companies. I would probably go with EY personally because I would want to reduce my chances of dealing with any sort of toxic work culture.

Pick the one you think you would want to work on in the future. Usually, an internship turns into FT if you do a decent job.

they both sound like really great offers. I don't think you can lose here.
