Question

Hi,

I have 2 internship offers for Fall 2023. First one is as a Credit Data Analyst where I'm currently interning for Summer and other is at energy consulting as a Data science intern.

JD's for both the jobs are almost the same. Pay for Credit analyst is 22 per hour and for the other one is 37 per hour.

I don't really have a long term plan regarding domain. But I definitely want to be an entrepreneur in the future.

I would like to know your perspectives

Thanks in advance.

Would you mind sharing your resume? I’m an undergrad trying to get internships

Personally I'd go for the one in energy (all else equal), unless you either:- Have a clear roadmap for climbing the corporate ladder in your current firm (if desired, and supported by the environment)- You have a specific interest in your current domainBy picking the other option, you'll land a nicer pay, and in my opinion it never hurts to learn new domains and skills. Partly depends on your learning speed too, of course, how often it's worthwhile to try new things.

I would go with Data science intern. Would get to learn more and pay is higher too. Data science is much more demanding than Data analyst.
