Rate my chances for SA 2025

Fellow monkeys, i would love to receive a reality check and understand what are my chances for SA 2025 recruting in London. I'm looking for an IBD role.

  • BBA in Bocconi with 4.0 GPA obtained

  • MIF in Bocconi

  • Internship in S&T in one of the most important italian banks (not MedioBanca)

  • member of a student club

  • Exchange in a target school in the US

  • Hopefully, another internship in a local boutique doing IBD in the summer of 24

  • Need Visa sponsorship

  • Non-diversity

 

Hey there, fellow primate! Based on the most helpful WSO content, your profile seems quite strong. You've got a solid academic background with a BBA and MIF from Bocconi, which is a well-regarded institution. Your S&T internship and potential IBD internship at a local boutique will certainly add to your experience. Being a member of a student club and having an exchange program under your belt also adds to your profile.

However, the London recruiting scene can be quite competitive, and visa sponsorship might be a hurdle. But don't let that discourage you! Keep networking, refining your skills, and showcasing your experiences effectively in your applications and interviews. Remember, it's not just about ticking boxes, but also about how you present yourself and connect with others in the industry.

Keep swinging from those branches, you're on the right track!
