I wouldn’t think about which one is more “useful” – honestly, you need to be BETTER than native speaker-level to ever use them for business purposes. Spanish is probably more widely used simply because it’s widely used in South America and other regions – while Arabic is also widespread, there is not as much deal activity in the Middle East, except for maybe Dubai.

I am from London and as for it is part of Europe, I was wondering what language would be more helpful to give me leverage? I am interested in both Spanish and Arabic and I love both cities so I have no preference. I would be interested in working in the M&A in IB so which country do you believe has more exposure? I know your from the USA and you may not be able to relate to Europe but if you could tell me which one gets more exposure in the USA because I actually wouldn’t mind working there?

I’m talking about graduating in December and going to work full-time in January.

Internships are necessary and you have around a 0% chance of getting a full-time offer without them.
