Off-cycle internship or FT recruiting?
Hey guys,
I'm currently a student at a 1 year masters program (on track for cum laude/4.0 gpa) in continental Europe. Currently I have no internship experience, but I do have some business experience that I can leverage into sounding relevant. Coming march-july I have a big 4 corporate finance internship planned.
My question: I'm eventually targeting a FT IBD role. What should be my next steps? Should I try for FT recruiting with my future internship already on my resume? Should I try for off-cycle internships and hope for a FT conversion after this? Other suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
Assuming that you are speaking about London: do not apply for full time recruiting, at least if you are targeting BBs / EBs. Actually it is already too late for those... but anyways, I have many friends with very strong profiles (they did a summer internship last year in a BB but did not get the offer) who are now struggling to get FT interviews, considering the bad state of the recruitment market in London now. So: apply for internships, and off cycles if you cannot apply for summer.
Thanks! Actually I'm not even dead set on London. I know my profile isn't the best and I was thinking about targeting top local banks and coverage teams of international banks. I went through SA recruiting and got the feedback from a couple of banks that my "profile did not fit" as I'm doing my masters currently. Somewhat a hard situation to be in.
