Jumping internships?

[imported_vr6]

right now i am a senior in college. I intern for a relatively small company that would most likely give me a position when i graduate in may.

I was contacted by T Row Price, a few days ago and they want to interview me for an internship position. However there is no guarantee that TRow will offer me a positon upon graduation. The recruiter said thats the best way to get into the company, and hiring upon graduation depends on situation, budget, etc.

So IF i was offered an internship by TRow, i am not sure what i would do.

What would you do? Take the leap and try to break it into the big coporate world or stay where i am at?

Worry about it once you have the offer.

Is it for the same position? How's the company you're working for now? There's pros and cons to working for a small company vs a big company.

I've been a company of 8 people and have gotten *massive* raises over the past year, my own office, etc. But I'm now moving to a large corp just b/c I feel it'll be beneficial to my career to go with a bigger company, where there's more opportunity. It all depends on the position and your gut feeling.

if you get an offer take it, that internship will help you land a job at trowprice and their competitors

It depends. Are you getting good experience where you work now? What field are you in?

I work for a huge company. It's not too bad. imo the perfect company is a 300-500 employees and privately held.

If you work for a company who's too small they don't want to spend money (comes out of the owners pocket) if you work for a company that's too large then there's too much bureauccratic bullsh!t you have to deal with

Right now my company is a Dod contractor and i am an enginerring assistant doing programming work. We have ~9 offices throughout the states. Probably a few hundred employees.

TROW is hiring for Database work.

edit - my concern is post-graduation. I need a job upon graduation and cannot afford time to look for a job.

if i were you i would continue to do the DOD contractor. you get some nice benefits
