Spring, Summer, Minorities and Women
Hello everyone,
The more I apply and talk with other students who apply for spring and summer internships, the more I feel you need to be a minority (black, asian, LGBTQ+ etc.) or a woman (if you are both: booster x2) to get into BB. Am I wrong (and so jealous that I try to find an explanation to my failures) or is there any truth ?
its just an entirely different process at this point. Diversity is earlier (so much for targeting people who are historically not aware of banking lmao) than regular recruiting, so non-diversity people have the spots that are left over.
That being said, you just need to compare yourself to the other non-diversity people when recruiting. It's not helpful to be jealous or anything, because that's just the name of the game when you are recruiting for a job that pretty much anyone with a college degree has the intellectual capacity to do.
I asked this question because 20 students from my University had a summer internship this year and 19 of them are minorities/women with the same experiences as me. Because they don't represent the majority of the students, the stats are weird.
Not commenting on the ease of diversity programs at all, but clearly plenty of regular white guys are getting BB jobs as well. It’s obviously more competitive but those spots exist
