How can I find out if my group allows starting early after the SA?
Hi everyone, I will be starting as a summer analyst at an UMM boutique in London this summer. I am in my final year at university and would theoretically be able to start full time at the bank immediately after the internship. However, I couldn't find anyone on Linkedin who had done this at my bank - everyone did the typical scheme and started a year later. I definitely don't want to be stuck in London for a year without a job, so what should I do? Apply for off-cycles at PE's/other banks? Or should I ask HR or my interviewers if I could start early (which might look a bit overconfident as the return offer obviously isn‘t be granted...)?
Also interested
Bump
id def secure the return first then look into making up excuse about graduating early and if so if you can start early. were you even eligible for this programme to begin with? if not who knows they could rescind...if they don't allow it go travel abroad / live in SE Asia for like half a year enjoying your life
They will not rescind lol although I will say just focus on getting a return offer more than anything. Applying/interviewing for off cycles whilst you’re on the job would not be the best look if found out.
Not interviewing whilst on the job makes sense, but what about applying/interviewing now, months before the summer internship? Is that common for final year students or would it raise red flags if HR or the team found out?
Hey man, my 2 cents having gone through similar situation:
As a reminder, the bank has no obligation to you and will not feel like they owe you anything so please do not rely on getting an offer to start immediately.
Having said the above, it is my strong view that you should do the off-cycles as your base case. You will never have this much optionality / flexibility in your career again. I have seen some genuinely incredible career trajectory improvements on the back of off-cycle internships. Also, just as reminder, an off-cycle offer at the place you got your summer offer from is not the same as an immediate-start full time offer. There is almost no upside to it and lots of downside. From a personal view, the off-cycles I did were absolutely critical to my career development.
Is it usually possible to start early/immediately after the SA?
