    Applying for smaller investment firms
    is it better to apply for smaller invest firms or not large corporate ones

    if applying to firms like aberdeen asset management, schroders, black rock investments, bny mellon among other, better chance of getting an internship with them than applying to the main big corporate firms

    BlackRock are huge and Aberdeen Asset Management are big.

    Small = 2000 or less employees IMHO
