ER Internship Timeline (Europe)
Hi,
Im aware that most of recruiting for IB in Europe is already over, but I was wondering if it is the same for Equity Research? I still see some pure research firms having open positions, are those up to date or just no being closed?
What Timeline should I follow if I want to recruit for Summer 2025?
Thanks for any info
It's the same timeline. They all open at the same time.
I don't think many pure research houses exist anymore so not sure what you mean. But smaller boutique brokers/banks may not be as organised to compete with the bigger banks on timelines or even pay so they might not be as accelerated.
I know Barclays is still recruiting for their ER Graduate program. Optiver also has a Graduate Equity Analyst program, but they're in Amsterdam.
Outside of that, I haven't seen a single internship open for ER and I've been actively recruiting since I got my CFA results last week.
Yeah you're really late in the app season - it started in August. And is coming to a close now.
Just for context, I'm not OP.
I had no option - I sat and waited for my CFA L3 result to use that to recruit with. I don't want an internship, I want an associate position & the least I'd take is a graduate position (masters + CFA L3). It's not the best, but if I somehow land in a Tier 3 bank, I'd be fine with it. Have also applied to hedge funds like P72 & Millennium.
I know you're not OP. Just the way you phrased your last sentence sounded like you were looking for internships.
You want an associate position with just a masters? I'm not sure if you mean "research associate" as in a junior in ER or "associate" as in analyst -> associate. If the latter, it's not happening. A graduate position should be your default. CFA doesn't let you skip ranks.
