Banking Risk Summer Internship - Need Some Guidance

Hi,

I will be doing a Risk and Compliance summer internship in a middle-market bank in London. When applying for graduate schemes, I'd like to know the feasibility of moving from Banking Risk to other division risk departments (AM, Insurance, PE, and HF). Is it possible to apply to the above-division graduate schemes?

Investment Banking Mock Coffee Chat

“Julius gave great feedback and advice on coffee chats which is something that I am working on. I loved how he discussed about his interest in health and fitness as that is something that I am definetely passionated about as well. We were able to connect well on a personal level. Overall I loved learning about his experience at Citi and I was able to learn many things.”

Investment Banking Career Roadmap (optional)

“Timothy was very helpful in helping me structure a roadmap, both long-term and short-term. For instance, he provided a lot of information on how to find internships: using searchfunder.com, targeting wealth management, small private equity shops, and regional boutique investment banks. Additionally, he helped me prioritize the things I currently needed to work on, such as a 3.7+ GPA, and getting involved in case competitions and finance clubs on campus. The structure he provided me was very useful overall, and I will definitely work with Tim again! ”
