Hi everyone - wondering when top companies such as FAANG start recruiting and how they recruit for 2020 Summer finance internships. I'm wanting to go into IB for junior summer, but think that one of these in corporate finance could be a good stepping stone for tech IB. Thanks in advance.

At my school (target for them) they do OCR in the fall. They primarily hire software engineers, but I think they do some finance roles as well. None have postings on my school's handshake yet so I assume they have not yet started.
Same, at my school they have OCR. I interviewed for a Finance role late September- Early October of last year.
Microsoft did their in April through a leadership program and Google does is in Oct. Not sure about other ones but most likely somewhere in Fall. They all recruit from all schools but have lowkey targets like Microsoft (UWash,) Google(Stan,MIT,) Amazon(Mich,) Apple(Duke.) Not sure about the rest of them.

everyone says you need a 3.7+ GPA for IB. is it the same case for corporate finance at FAANG?
They don't have a strict requirement but they are competitive as it's more merit based than IB- not saying IB is not but IB is more prestige(target)/networking based. The application pool is a lot bigger for very few spots so they tend to pick kids with high GPAs. Networking and referrals can also help you get interviews as well sometimes but won't be as effective as IB.
Any idea on FT timeline? Will it start around fall?
