2018 Summer Analyst IB Recruiting Megathread: August 15th and Beyond

APPLICATIONS / INTERVIEWS / SUPERDAYS

Now that early recruitment is wrapping up, most of the applications are open (minus some boutiques) and the previous thread has hit 1K comments, I thought it would be best to create another thread so people don't have to scroll through 6 pages to get to the most recent and relevant comments. Please feel free to discuss and share any concerns, question and information as before.

Best of luck to everybody!

Seems like a lot, but I think there was a lot of overlap--one person, three or four offers. So outside of very specific offices (Houston), there should be plenty for regular.

University of Chicago
 

Applied to JPM, BAML, WF, Lazard, DB, GS, UBS, BMO, Harris Williams, Piper Jaffray, William Blair, and Rothschild IB.

Waiting to hear back about JPM superday and had informationals at all the rest. Denied by MS. Word is the next JPM SF tech superday is mid september. Waiting on Jefferies, Guggenheim, Altamont Capital, RBC, Wedbush , Mooreland, Union Square Advisors, Cain Brothers, Pacific Crest Securities, Stephens, Mizuho, and MergerTech.

Where'd everyone else apply?

 

Hello,

I am currently Interning at an independent IRA. It's part-time, but it is paid and I am gaining a lot of experience. When I tell people I'm interning at an <abbr title="asset management

">AM firm most assume I cold call all day. However, that is not the case. I have gained a tremendous amount of experience on AM software such as Emoney, GPS, and NETX360. Next Summer I am aiming for a wire-house internship in either AM or IB. How can I make myself stand out especially coming from a non-target school?
