For current Sophomores looking to land a BB IBD Summer Analyst position for Summer 2018, we have less than 4 months until applications open up in August/September and recruitment starts.
Where do we currently see ourselves, and what are we planning on doing this summer to boost our odds during recruitment?
For me: -3.54 GPA at non-target (Finance Club, Emerging Markets Club) -Freshman Summer: summer study abroad at LSE -Sophomore Fall: economic research internship at niche consulting firm -Sophomore Spring: internship at PE Search Fund -Sophomore Summer/Junior Fall (planned): Corporate Investor Relations Department at a top-3 (public) Asset Manager -Junior Fall (planned): starting a Valuation club with some friends to follow along with Aswath Damodaran's online Valuation course and learn DCF analysis/practice valuing different businesses
*Also planning on taking a networking trip to NYC this summer and hoping to meet around ~10 junior bankers (Alums) for coffee/advice
Would love to hear everyone's plans to best position themselves for IBD SA recruitment this fall, and welcome any thoughts/opinions on my own plan!
(Any input regarding past application timelines would be appreciated)
