How important is the internship?
I will be a senior next year and I am looking to get into i-banking but I am not sure whether I have any chances. I am top 10% in a top 10 school with math and econ major but I have no work experience except for being research assistant at our business school. So would that diminish my chances? Also, I will be graduating after summer school, i.e end of june. Would that be a big problem? Thank you for the help.
I've heard of ppl getting into ibanking FT without a SA position but I think the chances are slim. Try getting in touch with some of your alumni and ask them their route.
FT recruiting is much easier at my school because you are essentially guaranteed a few first round on-campus interviews. Obviously you will be at a disadvantage considering your peers will have SA experience or offers. It is essential that you get a job with some sort of relative experience between now and then.
Agree. There are definitely some people who manage to get a FT gig without any W/E, but it is usually through networking and a top school (which you are). Definitely get SOMETHING on your resume outside of academia. Network your ass off. Take some IB-related course like dealmaven, simply to show interest in finance. join clubs at school related to IB...
