does it look bad if i apply like 10 programs in the same company?

I mean, i don't really care about locations, specific products (M&A, LevFin, etc) or verticals;;

If you're applying to get in with zero direction, why would I want to hire you? Sure- everyone wants to work in IB however i'm 2-3x more likely to hire someone to takes the time to learn my vertical and express directed interest and passion about the space instead of the apply everywhere attitude just to get a seat. If that's what you're looking at- i'd ask yourself why you want to be in IB at all

There's nothing wrong with applying everywhere in terms of different groups at different firms, but HR will see you have no direction so do what you can to minimize that external view
