BB Full-time analyst
I go to a top 10 target school but my gpa took a toll when I decided to study economics and minor in computer science
Current gpa is a 3.2 and I'm expected to graduate May 2023
I was able to get a PE summer analyst gig this summer but I want to try to go to a BB IBD (ideally in the South or NYC)
I've previously had these internships:
Big 4 accounting: Financial Services Summer Intern (summer, 2.5 months. mostly did audit work)
Top 10 consulting firm: Research Analyst (winter, 2 months)
Private Equity firm ~1bn AUM: Summer Analyst (current role)
Should I do an additional quarter/off-cycle internship, graduate a quarter late so that I could look for a summer analyst gig or just apply for FT and graduate on time?
It depends on your network. FT recruiting is networking heavy (more so than SA) and the bulk of it runs from July-August. The problem with delaying graduation is that you'd be a bit late to start recruiting for SA 23 now (granted some banks are still recruiting and will continue to recruit but the majority of banks have done most of their recruiting for next summer already). Not to be a dick but would also expand your range to MM banks. With no IB experience and late to the recruiting cycle, targeting only the BBs with a 3.2 GPA doesn't seem smart. Beggars can't be choosers
I thought all the top MMs like HL and Blair are done too? It might just be lower tier MMs left recruiting.
