I don't want to draw conclusions, but people without finance internships are already at a disadvantage in a typical FT recruting season and given the recent market conditions, it is very possibile that banks may higher les analysts, making the situation even more dire for individuals without a finance internship.

At a firm like Lehman Brothers that purposely attempts to fill its FT class with its own SA, the chance of you getting an FT offer without prior finance internship is close to non-existent.

 

You are never completely out of luck. However, I think that it will be more difficult to land a job for '08 than it was for '07.
