Intern Recruiting for Summer 24
What’s up guys. Hopping on here to wonder if I’m totally burnt for a summer internship for IB in 2024. Doesnt have to be BB, I know those are done.
1 year of experience come May, as well as an SIE, 3.67 cumulative GPA non target. Lmk if you need any other details. Would appreciate recommendations on where to look! Location I could care less about, if the firm is strong I’ll go anywhere.
Best of wishes to you all!
Hey there! It sounds like you've got a solid foundation with your experience and SIE under your belt, not to mention a strong GPA. Here's the scoop:
Non-Target School: While being from a non-target school can be a hurdle, it's not insurmountable. Leverage any school alumni networks and career services for potential leads.
Networking: This is key. Start reaching out to alumni, attending industry events, and connecting with professionals on LinkedIn. Personal connections can open doors that might otherwise stay closed.
Boutique Firms: Since you mentioned that you're open to firms other than Bulge Brackets, boutique banks can be a great option. They often have more flexible recruiting timelines.
Off-Cycle Internships: Look for off-cycle internships that might start in the fall or spring. These can sometimes lead to summer opportunities.
WSO Resources: Utilize resources like the WSO Networking Guide to refine your approach. The WSO Academy also has courses that could bolster your technical skills and make you stand out.
Stay Flexible: You've got the right attitude about location. Being geographically flexible increases your chances significantly.
Persistence: Keep applying and don't get discouraged by rejections. It's all part of the process.
Remember, it's not just about finding any internship; it's about finding the right fit for you. Keep swinging, and best of luck!

Same situation as you. Haven’t been able to get an offer. Been interviewing for PE/Project Finance as well.
Are you class of 25 as well?
Yes
Look for LMM banks. Small investment banks basically. I know some firms like G2 and Progress Partners and Cambridge Wilkinson or TAP advisors may be hiring.
Could I PM you for more info?
