Does Location Matter for BB SA Recruiting?

As I start networking for a boutique IB internship I was wondering if it matters where I do my internship in terms of SA recruiting if I want to end up in NYC being on the west coast currently.

Really depends on what school you go to. Yes, a lot of banks have finished/are wrapping up recruiting now, but there are also a lot of banks who have not even started yet/have had only 1 super day.

I also suspect that more banks will follow JPM/Goldman and push back their recruiting next summer (I am sure there will be more reneging on offers than usual this cycle), but that is just my $.02

 

Oh sorry didn't get the context. I'm in my sophomore summer doing a boutique IB internship in the Southeast. It hasn't stopped me at all even being a nontarget. Already have an offer. I did take a trip to NY to network with people though and that helped tremendously.
