Application to MM bank
Hi guys, discovered WSO a while ago and benefited a lot from it since, thanks all for the great input!
Sorry I digress, as mentioned in title, I have a question about applying to an internship at a MM. To put things in context, I have recently accepted a BB IBD SA offer, but I felt like I am not quite prepared for the job, so I have applied to a spring internship in a MM, hoping to get more on-the-job experience.
Here comes my real question: Since the MM offered both spring (not the spring internship in UK, but more like an actual internship) and summer internship, should I tell the truth when being asked why as college junior I am not applying to summer internship but instead go for spring internship? will that make me look insincere for an opportunity at that bank? (I actually wanted that spring internship because its a good bank and it will be great learning experience)
All inputs are welcomed, thanks!
No ones really gives a shit why you "only" applied for a spring internship and not a summer. Just don't mention either in the interview or during the internship if you get it, that you're there solely for the purpose of preparing for your summer internship - it may rub people the wrong way.
And if you don't feel prepared, you can study by yourself or chill out and remember that they have training and shit. Think hard whether you really want/need the semester internship as I did one and it took away a good chunk of my social life. Of course, that could've been mitigated with better time management on my part but take it into consideration
Thanks, appreciate the input! I am still considering whether I really need that internship as well.
yeah also wanted to step in and make sure if you end up getting it that you're aware of how well you can manage your time and if it would really hurt your college experience. hopefully the commute wouldn't be super long and the hours wouldn't be too bad.
Meh. I wouldn't strongly recommend doing a spring internship, but it's your call. I think it would be more than sufficient if you read the Investment Banking book by Rosenbaum, took an online class to really get familiar with excel, read an industry primer (if you're going into an industry specific group) and brush up on accounting.
