Which offer do I accept? I️ have a Product Manager Intern offer from both Blackstone (tech & inn) and American Express and a Program Management Intern offer from Amazon. Not considering comp or relocation, only career growth. After college I️ intend to do Product Management, I always thought in big tech but that may change. Longer term is tech startups.

Personally I would go with Amazon, since it’s a Internship it will really help boost your resume longterm, I think like 3M+ people apple to Amazon everyone year and they can really only accept a handful of people.

If it was ProDUCT Management intern at Amazon, I would be comfortable recommending Amazon outright. But you have to consider that it’s a different skillset. Quite possible that PM experience in finance/fintech > PgM experience in tech. Not my industry so I’m not comfortable making the call. Would check with alumni to get a sense of whether you’d be able to get a full time PM role after a PgM internship. And maybe ask on Blind too since that’s the techie forum

I would choose Blackstone if it’s cutting edge fintech

If you want to stay in finance definitely blackstone. Otherwise do amazon.

If you’re looking for a postgrad offer do amazon. The pay is way more than what blackstone would offer you.

I’d only take amex over the others if the role and team you met were incomparably better than the others.

Thinking only of career growth: for an internship I’d go with Amazon! I think it will open more doors for post-grad jobs. But I’d take a full time job at Blackstone.

Amazon +1

I agree with the comments above suggesting Amazon. For me, if it's for internship purposes only, I'd go with Amazon too.

Did you negotiate with Amex?

Go with Amazon!!

Amazon +1

Easier to exit to product at a tech company working a product role than a program management role regardless of company. Program management will teach you very little about the product side, if that’s what you intend to learn/do.
