I didn’t give IB recruiting my all during sophomore yr, even tho I go to a target (ivy but not H/P/Y, semi-target?). Only applied to ~15 banks and am non-div.
Should I take an extra semester at school and re-apply as a junior (upcoming szn)? If anyone has done this please lmk. Seems too valuable to pass up and wish I could give it another shot now that I’ve learned much more

No opinion but you need to make a decision quick. Very high chance recruiting for the masses will happen in Jan and Feb. My MD told his cousins son to have his resume ready to go by Dec 31
I’m going to, What bank did he say Dec 31 if u don’t mind
Its a Cdn/French/Japanese balance sheet bank. And if we are this early, can only imagine how early the banks/pe firms that ppl actually want to go to will be
Yeah why not, better than ending up at some back office role as your first job and being stuck there until you have to get an mba
