2026 Summer Analyst Help

Hey, so I came out of the first few months of 2025 with no internship for the summer of 2026. I am pursuing IB, what are my chances of landing an IB SA role this late. And if it’s not reasonable, what kind of positions should I look for to later be able to lateral? Or even a similar career to stick with.

Thanks for the help!!

I’m sorry dude, but you might be cooked. If you don’t have at least 4-5 BB/EB/MF offers by now you are most definitely cooked this recruiting cycle. I wouldn’t stress though, some good options I’d looks into are big four corpfin roles; backoffice, even.
