This was a very helpful article, thank you! I am a third year, undergraduate Business Administration student and I am really interested in working for an IB that invests the food and beverage sector. This article gave me a lot of good places to continue my research.

As I apply for internships, should I focus on getting a Summer Analyst positions at an IB that already has a strong track record in the food and beverage sector? Or would it instead be smarter to try to get into the most “well-known” summer internship program I can? From the interview, it sounds as if I should focus on getting the broadest experience I can and can try to break into a specific sector after I have proven myself.

In reply to James. I am not 100% sure, but I think it maybe a small % of bankers who take this route. I'd also leave this questions open for readers to answer.

This article is crazy old, but I’m interested in the food and bev sector of IB so I have to comment. I’m a hardcore value investor so I would try to take the distressed hedge fund route if possible, but I’m unsure how food and bev IB is relevant to a distressed equities fund. Any clarification? or was this just a small % of bankers in consumer/retail who take this route.

In reply to IB. I would not say "easy," but possible, yes, especially if it was just a VC internship.
