London SA 2019???

Question

Hello everyone,
with interviews being accelerated in the US I was wondering how the situation is looking in London. Are the SA / FT applications going to open around the same time they traditionally do?

Ok, now things are a bit more clear to me. To your clarification: Very often you cannot even apply to all offices if this is your plan. If you're the next rockstar, NYC wouldn't have a problem to interview you per video (but I think this is very critical and won't happen). I'd stick to your EU plan. And there they will def. fly you in or at least send you to nearby offices for some video chat or like I said, phone is very often fine, too, at least in the beginning. I actually got a PE gig just by phone (reputational player) and also had 50% of my IB FTE interviews per phone.

London SA Opportunities  (Originally Posted: 11/03/2010)

Hi,

I'm currently spending my junior year abroad at Oxford studying economics and management. I was wondering if it would be wise to focus on summer internship opportunities in London/UK rather than the U.S. I've been to almost every single company presentation networking with employees from the London offices. How is recruiting for SA positions in the UK compared to the US?

Background: I come from a top 35 non-target with a 3.9 cum. gpa, interned at a foreign securities house (IBD) this summer, and have decent ECs.

How do London summer analyst programs work?  (Originally Posted: 04/19/2011)

Hi guys,

It's a little early to be asking about SA programs for next summer but recruitment starts in the fall so I wanted to know: do the London investment banks recruit summer interns the same way US banks do?

Do you just apply on their website, networking, try to know someone and then they will call you for an interview? Then would you fly in (preferably schedule 2-3 interviews on the same day or two) and then fly back home keeping your fingers crossed?

Would it be the same the other way around?

Alright,

so this is exactly my plan. Please keep in mind I'm just an ordinary kid from a non-target hoping to leverage my internships and network into some sort of summer analyst program.

PE internship this summer (or hopefully non-paid middle market IB)
Intern for a boutique in the Fall + apply to every ibank in US & UK.
