I’m starting an MSc in Finance degree in London coming September. I am expecting to do an IB internship during the summer following my graduation (2026). I read online that you get a return offer to start 10-12 months after the summer internship. Is this true?
After my Master’s graduation, I’d like to start working full-time, not having a 10-12 month gap to fill.
Can anyone confirm this or share their experience?
