Is it worth doing a placement year ?
Context : I’m a first year doing a 4 year course including a placement year on Business Management with Business Analytics at a semi-target uni near London
Wanting to go into IB (M&A) in London probably at a EB as I didn’t get that good A levels to go for a BB job.
My Uni has got really good post grad employability stats so there is little incentive to waste a year doing something prolly unrelated to IB such as audit or something else but they make placement years sound very appealing and good for employability. So is it worth doing a Placement year ? Any thought or relevant anecdotes would be appreciated Thanks
How good are the roles that are advertised for your placement year? I completed a placement year in M&A so it was great for my CV. It's also a great chance to earn some money
Hi mate, where did you do your placement?
following
My uni has good connections and I have been reaching out to alumni for coffee chats and they say to take placement year.
Just curious, what firm did u do a M&A placement year with?
Cheers
They tend to be less competitive than SA roles since most universities like LSE , Oxford and Cambridge don’t allow them
Therefore you have a higher likelihood of getting one and thus a good chance of converting
I’d say it’s worth it
Absolutely if you go to Bath, they have some of the best IB placements in the country.

Last thing you want is some trolls on here messing with you IRL.
Hey Mate, just wondering did you find any work placements related to IB sector? I am a first year at a semi target as well, UoM. My University's placement rates are also pretty good and I wanted to gain some experience before my graduation because of the recession and everything. So i was wondering whether you had any luck with finding relevant IB work placement as that would help me out a lot when i start next year. Also i would really appreciate if you could let me know how to look for IB related Work placements.
Thankyou!
