Think because doing multiple internships is more common here. I.e. you can do internships in final year and a lot of candidates are European who do multi year masters with more opportunities for internships, and FT hiring is a lot smaller here. Off cycles are a lot more common as well if you dont convert after graduating. Also why not getting a return offer isn't as bad as the US.

 

What could I screw up? Any examples on what to avoid? As an intern at my place I’ve heard it’s mostly making small edits to the model if that, or getting staffed on some random distressed carve-out thing that’s going nowhere…..

 

Do you think someone could suss out who you are by your name "babyblueocean" and the bank you will be interning at? 

Why don't you just say the bank for a meaningful answer?

Expect most ppl in an intern class to receive FT offers. Most EBs recruit interns to hire - the offer is yours to lose, just don't mess up in a major way. 

 

From what I heard, Laz plans to take the majority of their intern class. There’s typically 2-4 that are clueless the entire summer and get cut.
