Got into LSE MSc Accounting and Finance, Apply for summer internships?
So I recently found out that I got accepted into LSE.
When I start class in Sep, I will have accumulated a little over 2 yrs of work experience at a top BB in Asia, within a finance rotational program.
I've decided to go to LSE because of its excellent reputation within the financial industry and placement into top firms. My goal is to obtain a full time analyst role in either IB or Equity Research post graduation.
My question is, would it better to apply to summer internships before I start school? Or is it better to focus on work until Aug and just start my full time applications once school starts?
ANT's blog had an insightful article/ interview on LSE's masters programs. You should check it out.
Well done, this is a great course! make sure to apply for internships. it seems like u have a back up if u dont get it. the important thing to remember here is that usually 50% of full time candidates come from internship programmes. so get one of these and your chances of landing a good position upon graduation seriously improve.
Good luck
defo apply for summer internships as banks aim to fill up most of their full time classes from SA, plus if economy smashes its face in and recruitment falters then they will only recruit from their SA classes like in 08.. AND if that's not enough, having a SA experience on your CV will land you interviews especially when combined with LSE Msc good luck!
I'm assuming you start your MSc in September? If so, you're quite late to apply for the summer internships as most of them have shut their applications. You should have applied a little earlier. Have you tried contacting your old BB to maybe lateral into a FO position after your MSc? You could possibly even intern there?
When did you get your offer of admission?
