Yes in the sense it is far easier to network in person.
Since it would be sophomore summer wouldn't interviews/superdays have already past (excluding Goldman, JPM and Wells)?
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
Only Citi and RBC are done. I think everyone is done for diversity as well. You have options everywhere else for the most part
I'm a freshman currently finishing up this year, I was wondering about next summer.
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.
When do you recommend going to NY to network? I'm thinking early to mid December as I'll be on break then, could possibly do spring break as well.
