Hi, everyone!I am currently a student in a Masters' degree in Finance in the University of Paris-Dauphine.I have been offered 2 internship opportunities: one will be in the Global Markets Strategy Research team in the front-office in Fortis bank's headquarter in Brussels and the other will be in the Department of perfomance analysis in CDC Ixis Asset Mgmt in Paris.I would like to know your opinion about these two institutions and the pontential value of the 2 opportunities in my furthur job search.In fact, in Brussels, I will be modelling an sector equity index with the Error-Correction Model and will be exposed to very large number of macroeconomic data and of course get chance to observe the functionning of the front-office. But I will not be able to get exposure to other things than equity. In Paris, I will be a asset mgmt data analyst and be exposed to lots of financial instruments especially fixed income and derivatives. But the job seems to me too repetitive and support-oriented and not sufficiently quantitative.I will really appreciate your answer to this message. Thank you so much.

Paris is so nice and enjoyable. Brussels is not bad but Paris is Paris. If you are interested in quantitative work, eventhough you feel the internship in CDC is not offering that, still go there because you might still be able to manage to do more quant stuff if you really want.And anyways there are more opportunities for real quant work in derivatives than in equity.Good luck
