No. If CS incoming FTs didn't get FT offers pulled when the bank collapsed, it won't happen now. Would just try to be a top-bucket analyst or at least mid-bucket. However, there have been various banks that have fired juniors recently, with BoFA being the most prominent, so have to make sure to be a strong junior.

 

wtf is a top intern when every single intern would be grinding their ass lmao

 

The question is asking about incoming analysts not about interns, which is what I answered.

Not to be mean, there is 100% such a thing as a top intern, and there are various threads here from back when I first found this forum 10+ years ago on it that are easily found by looking this question up. 

 

I am an incoming summer analyst with a background of military service of 5+ years in one of the tougher military divisions that you can think of. I need this job for a personal reason (obviously money). I am willing to give my 100% for the job but am concerned how I would be differentiated when all the college kids are hard working. I have never worked with college kids but from what I hear they all seemed to be hard working. I know I've endured some of the more tougher environment but seems like this summer internship won't be that tough and granular to differentiate who can survive and who cannot.

 

You'd be surprised in the high variability in competency of interns. Everyone plans to "grind their ass off" but that means different things to different people.
