How would you treat a resume with a freshman year BB FO summer internship?
I got an email from a kid from my school asking to chat on the phone, and he attached his resume as well. One strange thing was that he had a lower tier BB front office summer analyst position for the summer after his freshman year. Now he's an "incoming summer analyst at [Mid Tier BB]."
Do any BB's allow rising sophomores in their summer analyst program by merit only? Or does this sound like a classic case of family connections? Is it possible to get this through just pure networking with alumnI? How would return offers even work for this?
The rest of his resume is otherwise impressive, nothing super outstanding, but nonetheless impressive. Am I reading into this too much?
He could've started as a freshman this year but told banks he was a sophomore then gotten a diversity program slot or something. Doing so would require a lot of knowledge beforehand to even know that program existed (I'm sure we can all agree that IB wasn't top of our minds during freshman orientation, unless you're some hardo reading WSO from high school). Definitely an interesting case though.
Was something I considered trying. Would have been really tough as I’m non-diversity but I had some networking chats the summer before freshman year.
I know somebody who got an off-cycle role during the fall of their sophomore year through networking with alumni, so I'd say it's possible, but probably less so for summer analyst.
Based on how the recruiting timeline works wouldn’t they had to have started networking their high school senior year spring/summer at the latest?
Sounds fishy
Have seen multiple profiles of people with FO BB experience as a freshman, but it's usually a non-NYC office like HK or Beijing. Couldn't see it possible without connections, but doesn't take away the kids merit. Why not ask him during your chat?
Yeah I’ll probably ask him about it. It was Non-NYC, but still a top city (One of SF/London).
Regardless, he’s pretty accomplished in campus extracurriculars not relating to finance but that do demonstrate great people skills.
