How Good is Santander Sophomore Summer for Recruiting

I recently got the offer for the 2025 Santander Sophomore Summer internship. I'm going through recruiting right now for Junior year 2026 internship, so I'm curious how much this sophomore internship will help/mean anything/is any good. I'm targeting EB and BBs (Evercore, CVP, GS, MS, JPM, etc.), or basically firms I'd choose over a return offer from Santander.

It pays pretty well at $52.88, and I'm really excited to be in NYC! I'm just curious about how much this will help my chances of getting an interview/networking call for EBs and BBs

If you are at like a non target school, anything meaningful will help. Otherwise, it’s not gonna make or break your chances at those banks you mentioned; most sophomore summer internships don’t really mean jack shit anyhow if youre a good candidate.

 

doesnt matter and wont help landing interviews. Sophomore internships are considered very much if at all. all about the interview. Would probably be smart to enjoy your last summer and time with you parents - get a good gig near home
