FT Recruiting 2026? Steps to succeed? (Need Advice)

Hi All,

I really screwed a bunch of superdays for IB 2025 SA (screwed abt 4 at BB's). I have an offer from a MM/LMM firm (SocGen/CIBC/Mizuho) and a superday at a better known MM firm (Nomura/WF).

Tiger cub soph summer ez means ur chillin you will get looks everywhere forFT regardless of ur jr summer. Just a question, how tf did you get a tiger cub? Is it only school connect, club connect or cold email?

 

mix of school connect club connect and cold emailing. the interview process is laborious (I spoke to about 5 members of the firm before offer). They will ask you filthy questions and focus more on how smart you are than actual finance technicals (unlike superdays)

 

You couldve just asked your dad for the internship man. Props to you for doing it on your own
