Now that Memorial Day Weekend has come and gone, it’s about time for eager upper classmen to start their Summer Analyst stints. Having gone through a Summer Analyst program myself and having managed a number of SAs, both good and bad, I’d like to offer some advice to this year’s class of interns.

Without further ado, here are things to do and things to avoid if you want to end the summer with a job offer in-hand.

First, my top five to-dos:

Three offers...which one to choose?

Credit Risk Analyst at top 5 US Bank, Assistant Bank Examiner for Fed Reserve, Research Analyst for McKinsey?

Houlihan Lokey FAS or EY Transaction Services Group?

I got offers from both companies, and have a week to decide. What do you guys think I should choose? I am interested in going into top 5 business school after 3 years. Which one prepares me better?

Thank you! Really appreciate your help!

Didn't get offer for summer analyst recruiting (regional, decently known boutique --75% offer rate) -- am I screwed for FT ? Had average reviews, others had better reviews but did get mentioned for good attitude

Fellow Monkeys,

I'd like your view on the choice I'm trying to make regarding my position next year (1st year analyst)

Im about to graduate from a top French school, interned at BNPP in M&A in Paris, GS in M&A in Paris and GS in ECM in London.

The offers I have are:

GS, Leveraged Finance, London
CS, M&A Energy, London
BNPP, M&A, Paris

I know that this forum is usually more for US-based banks, but if anyone has some insight about what the best choice in terms of deal exposure / intrinsic value for exit after 2-3years / quality of group / hours, that would be helpful.

Best,

Impressive offers

Met this guy through a good friend of mine. He graduated wharton last year, and got full-time offers from Blackstone PE, Citadel, Bain Capital, Lazard, Goldman Sachs TMT, and some more that i'm forgetting. probably the most impressive offer list of anyone i know.

Hi,

I'm a rising senior and this summer I'm interning at a venture capital firm ($1.8 billion AUM) mostly doing deal sourcing. Last summer I worked at a private equity consulting firm doing the market research for the due diligence on deals. I don't attend a target school.

What does everyone think is my best shot at getting a full time offer at a bulge bracket bank? Should I just start networking all throughout summer? Am I dead in the water without a summer analyst position?
