How far behind am I?
Hello, I have been completely lost in figuring out what I want to do but recently have decided I'd like to break into banking. I have one prior summer internship in accounting at a mid sized asset manager and am a current junior at a target. I am looking for advice as to how to proceed with this summer and beyond as I am behind and don't have too much going for me as far as this cycle. Any help would be appreciated.
If you're at a target that's going to help massively with FT recruiting. Try to find something IB or IB-related for this coming summer, either at a boutique through alumni networking, or some of the apps for balance sheet banks that will tend to open up at times this year (tough, it's getting late for the latter as well). IB-related can also be capital market stuff like DCM. Then, follow the general stuff you should be doing for FT recruiting like networking like crazy spring of junior year with banks/groups you'd be interested in–there are some recent posts on this site that you can read that detail what you should be doing.
It also isn't too late for you to plan to delay grad by a semester/quarter and recruit for SA 2026. If I were in your shoes I'd do this since it will be by far your most straightforward path into IB. A lot of OCR and networking has gone by and interviews are starting but you can definitely get on track if you're willing to grind.
