Finding Trading Winternships?

Tried looking for a post like this but couldn't find much. Looking for any trading winternships for this winter, either at a prop trading firm or at an S&T desk at a bank. have interned at a trading firm before, just want something to do this winter. thanks for any help!

 

Tower Research has an off-cycle internship but I think it's during the Spring. Edit: Just looked it up, you need to be a PhD for Tower.

The interviews at all of these places are extremely difficult. HRT will be the most technical of the 3, they have no "traders" there, just algorithm developers. Five Rings was started by an ex-JSC guy so the flavor is a little more similar to it, but from my experience, Jane Street interviews are more like puzzles.

 

Jane Street's winternship is much larger and more structured than Five Rings. Historically, both winternships were overwhelmingly from MIT/Harvard although I'm not sure if it has diversified. The HRT winternship was new this year and is HRT's first attempt at an internship program. I think IMC may also have experimented with short winter internships but I'm not familiar with the details.

we took a winter intern this past year

Any advice as to the process and what made you choose that candidate for the winter, how many applicants per offered seat or was it mainly a position filled by those with a connection on the inside?
