I’m a sophomore in college & I recently secured a technology consulting internship at a big 4 for summer 22. I’m extremely excited about this opportunity & upon successful completion of this internship i’ll get an offer to return junior year for another internship at B4. But my ultimate goal is to end up at FAANG as a data engineer..I guess my question is, will an internship at big 4 this summer look good on my resume for the next recruiting cycle for summer 23?

Mentor
I don’t know what FAANG means, but I’ve seen agency experience be a plus and I’ve seen too little in-house experience be a minus.
For example I’ve worked at W+K. People think that’s a slam dunk for all creative roles, but I’ve been rejected for in-house jobs because I don’t have experience in some of the day to day work, and I “might find it boring.”
Overall, depends on the role. If it’s conceptual, they’ll value a creative book. If it’s...email blasts, social posts, technical writing, etc, they’ll value your in-house experience.
It’s the big tech companies: Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, Google
It’s easier to go from Wieden to Apple than Amazon to Apple. Amazon outsources all their good creative to Droga5 and Lucky Generals so you’re not gonna build much of a book there while Apple in house does a lot of good work.
Coach
I really think it depends what team within the brand you’re applying to is.
If you work at wieden you get looks from all the best companies
1. It’s easier to go from one FAANG to another as a manager.
2. It’s easier to go from a top agency to a FAANG if you have great work as a mid level-senior.
It’s easier to go to FB, Apple, Netflix and Google from WK. Amazon shouldn’t even be a part of FANG for creatives.
