Topic Name: Summer engineering research vs consulting internship
Message Name: Which is better?
Date Posted: 04/01/2004
Message: This summer I have the choice between summer research at a good university, on an electrical engineering related topic, and a summer internship in a top 10 consulting firm. Which should I pick? My goal is to work in a consulting firm after college. Do consulting firms value scientific research, or are they just interested in work experience specifically in consulting? Note: I already have 2 summer internships from past summers under my belt.
