IBD - London

Dear WSO Community,

I currently finished my second year of Uni and have two PE internships this summer (around 3-5bn aum). After Uni, I will do a gap year and would really like to see IB in London. However, having a buy-side heavy profile, I think getting into M&A will be hard, which is why I thought mainly applying for Leveraged finance, especially since my long-term goal is PE.

If you have any information or tips, I would be very thankful!

Best
