Post Summer Associate Re Recruiting

Hi,

I'm a first year student at an MBA Program and was fortunate to get a Summer Associate role at a BB. I want to know how does re recruiting for FT roles? I am asking for both scenarios - in the event I don't get a return offer as well as if I do but don't like my time at the bank I'm going to.

I want to know what the timelines are, which banks typically hire etc etc

Thanks in advance!

Investment Banking 7 Stories Review

“Alessandro was super friendly and extremely accommodating. When none of the slots on his Calendly worked for me, he went out of his way to find a time that did. He was really helpful on my 7 behavioural stories, giving actionable feedback on where I could improve each one. It was especially useful to hear how students usually answer these questions, as it showed me how to stand out. He also explained how I could tweak each story to answer a much wider range of questions, which made my prep far more flexible. On top of that, he gave me extra questions to prepare beyond the 7 stories.”

Investment Banking Mock Coffee Chat

“the mentor was great and extremely knowledgeable, the session was good, and I was able to have the ideal coffee chat. The only thing that could be improved was the hours available for scheduling. This was the best mock coffee chat I had and was able to apply the takeaways from my last mock to do very well in this one. Javier was also very helpful to me and we were able to connect and find like interests in our session which only helped to further improve the coffee chat. We could have focused a little more on how to improve, but I was also able to usse and adapt the WSO questions to fir into the conversation. ”
