I managed to get in touch with a Director of IBD from a renowned Swiss bank. He replied to me saying that its structurally not possible for his division to take in off-cycle Spring interns.
However, I had a senior that managed to do an off-cycle internship with the same bank, though in Markets.
Any thoughts on this? Should I press for an exception to be made for my case?
