When courting, sables run, jump and "rumble" like cats. Males dig meter long shallow grooves in the snow, frequently accompanied with urination. Males fight violently with each other for females, and mating can last as long as eight hours. After insemination, the blastocyst does not implant into the uterine wall of the female. Instead, implantation occurs eight months later; although gestation lasts 245 to 298 days, embryonic development requires only 25–30 days.
Sables birth in tree hollows, where they build nests composed of moss, leaves, and dried grass. Litters number one to seven young, although litters of two or three are most common. Males assist females by defending their territories and providing food.
I realize this has been covered before, but how good would S&T at a BB be if I wanted to move to IB junior summer.
AWFUL
Thanks for the insight
This sounds fine to me, I've seen multiple students make the jump from S&T in their sophomore summer to investment banking in their junior summer.
I made the jump the other way just fine. IB internships sophomore and junior summers to FT trading
marketing at a startup, but had a previous IB internship

I went sailing and traveled a bit. I feel like an underachiever compared to the current crop of folks looking to get into IB. It definitely seems like the process gets more and more competitive with each year :)
