Searching for a Summer Internship?

Mod Note (Andy): Bumped this back up from winter 2010 and it is still useful, but even more companies and banks are listed in the WSO Company Database (with e-mail formats)

If you're still on the internship hunt, no worries - lots of boutique investment banks wait to do their hiring until the Spring. Check-out the list of banks that I put together for potential leads and a Q&A video below.

Original Post:

I recently joined the WSO team in September to run Wall Street Mentors, and our goal is to provide the members of WSO the ability to receive personalized job search help, mentoring, interview prep from professionals that have 10+ years at top finance firms (Goldman Sachs, Bain Capital, Morgan Stanley, McKinsey, etc.).

Since joining, I've been working on compiling a comprehensive list of investment banks to help WSO members that are trying to identify the right investment banks and/or aggressively network. I started with a list of ~1,200 banks exported from CapitalIQ, and I whittled it down to what I thought seemed to be the top 200.

I've segmented the list into three categories:

1) Large, International Investment Banks - 10 Banks
2) Large, Mid-sized, and Prestigious Boutique Investment Banks - 40 Banks
3) Boutique Investment Banks - 150 Banks

For groups 1&2, I simply provide a link to the bank's career website. Perhaps the most valuable part of this list is the information I provided for group 3. For this group, I went onto the website of each bank and tried to gather as much information as possible:

Website
Office Locations
Senior Member at the Firm
Email address
Phone # (many of them are direct dials so be ready if you call!)

If you are seeking to expand your job search to regional boutiques, this list is a great place to start the process.

It was no small task going through this list, so I'm sure that there's plenty of room for improvement. Please let me know if I missed any banks, included outdated information, etc. I'd love input to improve this list.

If you want some help from an experienced investment banking professional, you should check out Wall Street Mentors. Feel free to email our team at [email protected] with any feedback on this list or requests for help with your job search or to see if any of our mentors would be a good match for you.

Also, if you want to see the banks in your location, you can simply use the "search function" and type in your city's name while still on this forum.

Hope this list helps.

Please post any feedback, corrections or requested additions.

Thanks for the help!

 

That's brilliantly comprehensive and effort-intensive of you, thanks so much.

Cool to find info for SIG. I'm from that area and wanted to know more about them, thanks for the insider info. :)

I am permanently behind on PMs, it's not personal.
 
RKBanker:
This is great. I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but would you be able to compile a list of s&t firms. I think we all know the BB S&T firms, but what about the smaller ones.

This is a great effort and I agree that if time affords you many of us would be forever grateful for a S&T list.

Thank you WSM,

+1 for S&T firms when you have time. Much thanks in advance!

 
Funniest

These are the only shops you should be working at... here is a guide to all the grasshoppers on wall street.

The Dream Team : 1: PJT, GS, Evercore, MS, Lazard, Moelis

Warriors: 2: JPM, Centerview, Greenhill, Perella Weinberg Partners

Any team made around Lebron: 2.5: CS, BAML ________________________Mega fund cut line*________________

Houston Rockets of the world:

3: Barclays 3.5: DB, Citi, Houlihan, Jefferies 4: UBS, Roths of the world like Liontree

NCAA Championship teams:

5: Wells Fargo, RBC,BMO ________________________Don't even think about PE line_______

Highschool C teams:

6: HSBC, Baird, KBW,Other no name boutiques, Regional bank IB like Key bank, Foreign banks with no deal flow like Mizuho/Nomura/SocGen

 

Wow. That is very impressive and I commend your efforts. Especially for making it public and free. That is some valuable information

 

WSM,

This is an easy thing to say, but if I could, I would give you at least 3-4 SB for this, but I can't, so I'll at least give a +1. I think this will help out alot of the prospective monkeys in their quest for a job.

 

Chris, awesome job! I just bookmarked this list and will definitely use it for my search. +1 SB.

It was no small task going through this list, so I'm sure that there's plenty of room for improvement. Please let me know if I missed any banks, included outdated information, etc. I'd love input to improve this list.

Found one well known firm missing from the list: Qatalyst Partners

“Millionaires don't use astrology, billionaires do”
 

I agree with everyone else on the great stuff, but just out of curiosity why didn't HSBC show up? Aren't they are a significant bank?

 

Thanks for the feedback from everyone - great to hear that this will be helpful.

I'll get started on the S&T list shortly. I'm not as familiar with that industry, so recommendations for sites to pull data from (other than WSO) would be really helpful.

I added HSBC and Qatalyst Partners to the list and I realized that I forgot TD Securities. I'm sure I missed at least a dozen or so others, so please let me know if you notice that a bank is missing.

Thanks again,

Chris

 

Very impressive. How did you go about getting all of those direct numbers to managing directors? This must have been very labor intensive.

NestoGrande:
What are people's thoughts on contacting the partners listed?

I don't mind trying to reach out, but are there inboxes going to get flooded now that their contact info is posted somewhere?

Yep, it'll totally get flooded. Don't do it!

 

Wow, incredible list Chris. Tell Patrick to give you a bonus, but I'll just give you a silver banana.

not to be a dick but if there are more qualified candidates coming from top schools than there are positions... why should companies consider people with no proven track record, come from non target schools and are most likely from an unrelated field/major with irrelevant experience?

Because when your job is to beat the markets and not think the way everyone else does it might be beneficial to have a unique life experience that might not fit the traditional banker mold? Just at a guess.

Protip of the day: If you have to preface your statement with "not to be a dick", you're being a dick.

 

protip duly noted lol

Because hiring managers are smart enough to realize that where you went to school is a highly imprecise, noisy signal of your actual talent and intellect. There are plenty of kids coming from non-targets who will run intellectual circles around target kids. For example, most target kids probably couldn't succeed in a Math PhD program, although plenty of non-targets do it every single year. Potential is a complicated thing...

 

Aren't a lot of these people going to get very frustrated when tons of people start contacting them? Especially the people towards the top of the list?

That said, I really appreciate you posting these video interviews... they are extremely helpful and so is the concept of building a custom list.

I would say that finding a spot from this list now, starting on June 18 or wtv rotation there is, is a big time long shot.

I say apply for a fall internship in wtv city your in and take less course load. :)

Wow! I have to say that this post is spectacular. It gives a reasonable amount of insight on the subject. It is clear that a lot of effort went into it. It is great how you give listings because as important it is to tell, it is also important to show. Great post. Keep em coming.

The list below includes some of my all time favorites and the ones I use on a regular basis for finding internships. Several of these sites are excellent choices for just about any type of internship while others focus more on specific career fields or areas of interest. When beginning my search for an internship, these would be the first places I would look. You will find opportunities on these sites for summer internships, fall internships, spring internships, paid internships, non profit internships, and internships abroad. Thanks

 

Sorry for bumping if this has been beaten to death - I'm wondering if there is a general guideline to use to decide on a few marginally less selective banks to apply to just to raise the chances of getting anything. I'm aware a boutique isn't always easier than a BB or MM, but is there any type of rule of thumb? I'd assume the lesser known MMs would be easiest simply because they have more openings but less applicants. Any input?

 

Hi WSM thanks for posting such an exhaustive list! Would you be able to do a list for London or the UK, i think it would really help us EMEA guys out. Thanks, keep u the good work!
