Top Fall Internships in New York City

While most SA positions are just reaching their halfway mark, I have found myself thinking quite a bit about what I might do this coming fall. I enjoy work what I am doing so much now that I want to continue making progress in learning during school. This fall I will have, to be modest, a pretty amazing resume for a college junior. My problem is now to find which firms hire interns during the fall. I am mostly interested in positions in exclusive groups at banks (perhaps QT or SSG at goldman) or alternatively something at a top hedge fund (I know Moore has jobs but Global Macro is not exactly what I am interested in). Could anyone please provide information about similar opportunities that may exist in the fall specifically, not the summer. I know that these programs are far less organized, so any input from those who have had these jobs in past years. Positions I am looking for could be either buy or sell side so long as they are extremely competitive and in an interesting space.

re:

Hey McGyver, I was actually wondering the same thing. I've actually looked around a lot on websites for a lot of the banks, but usually they really don't post anything about Fall internships or internships during the school year. Most BB websites only post about their summer internship programs. Honestly, I don't think searching on the internet will be the best idea. Call around to anyone in your network and see if they can help you. As you said, Fall and Spring stuff are way less structured so it's unlikely to find much on the internet.

McGyver, this is more for

McGyver, this is more for myself, since you are too qualified for this. But what do you think of a school year risk management internship at a firm called group one trading? How challenging do you think the internship would be?

I would say that if you are

I would say that if you are a sophomore, this would be a really good opportunity. Otherwise, I would think its just ok since you probably do not want to go into risk management (I would guess). Alternatively, risk management does give you good exposure to the mechanics of a trading operation and lets you understand how a lot of the strategies work too.
