Advice for junior Graduating in 2022, wondering if I can still get an IB internship as a graduating senior
I took a summer internship in corporate banking this year (junior year) and was going to try for SA or FT positions in IB my senior year. For some reason I finally realized that IB's generally don't extend these offers to graduating seniors with no prior IB experience. Wondering what my chances are to make it happen and if you all have any advice.
Background:
From a non-target university, 3.7 GPA finance and economics, two years in my schools investment club, will probably get to be on management my senior year, and my only experience will be in corporate banking which will be this summer.
I could graduate this year and maybe look for FT positions in the fall instead, but I was going to try for IB my senior year and just finish my economics major and study for the GMAT.
Thanks
One thing you can try is let the firm know you’re wanting to do a master’s program. You may be able to SA in the summer after your senior year. I’ve heard of a few people making this work.
Definitely not looking to do a masters but I guess I could "say" I'm planning to do one lol
Thanks for replying
They’ll ask for proof of acceptance during background check so you actually need to do one
If you say you're planning to do one and don't, your FT offer will be rescinded. The offer is based on you having another year of school.
Extending graduation (even one semester is fine) or doing a master's program is your best bet. 3.7 with corp banking internship would be competitive for SA 2022 but you need to get networking ASAP as that starts up soon
I recommend recruiting again for SA 2022. Put December 2022 as your graduation date, and if you land something, just extend a semester to graduate in Dec 2022.
how would i go about it, like if they ask why did i extend by a semester should i just something like i wanted to minor in this subject and as a result had to take a extra semeter
Yes make up a valid reason. Either double major or minor or add something else or if let’s say you really went to college for the clubs and activities and experience, and Covid took away from it, you can even say that.
COIVD. Is nobody at your school taking a gap semester because they feel as though they're getting ripped off financially, academically, and socially?
Don't want to give false information or fuck you over so correct me if I'm wrong guys. But I don't think anyone really cares as long as you're able to do the internship and start working as a full-time analyst in 2023. I don't see anything wrong with graduating right before your SA, taking a year off, and then starting FT next year.
thank you!! my school advisor are saying it looks bad look on your resume.. lmfaoo thank you for clearing it up
