Hi,
I have received an offer from a summer internship at an EB in Frankfurt and would like to upgrade this to full-time in London.
I have applied regularly but should I be more proactive about it, ie reaching out to explicitly state that I have received an offer?

Yes, standard practice is you inform companies that you are still in the process with that you have an offer. "In the process" being you've at least done an interview.
Sorry, I am not sure if I understand. I have just applied and have not gotten any interviews yet at companies I would like to switch to.
if and when you get interviews, you should state that you have an offer for the EB in germany
Okay, I see - thank you! So I should not reach out yet in some way stating that I have received an offer to make my application stand out?
No, it doesn't really make your app stand out, it would just accelerate interview timelines and decision-making if you seemed like a strong candidate.
Yes, being proactive can definitely help. Reaching out to London offices and explicitly stating that you've received a summer internship offer in Frankfurt shows initiative and can make you stand out. Mention your interest in transitioning to a full-time role in London and ask about available opportunities or the best steps to take for such a move. This approach demonstrates commitment and ambition, which are valued qualities in finance. Best of luck.
I see, thanks. Would you reach out to employees or to the HR department?
