Well I recently finished my internship with FSI in Beijing (Forex Signs) which is a FOREX broker based on Wall Street and has three offices in China and other offices around the world. Granted, they are not a Morgan Stanley mind you, but I must admit that $30 million a day in trading volume is nothing to sneeze at. And although they offered me a full time job as a broker, and they did a great job at training me for the job, I opted to decline their $50,000 USD job. Am I crazy? My mom says "yes" but my father at least asked me "why"?
So I am sharing the answer I gave him here so it may benefit others who were in my shoes six months ago debating whether to try a China internship or take an entry-level boiler room management job with Charles Schwab in New York.
