Hello WSO,
I was just curious whether BB or any banks accept non traditional candidates for their SA programs. By non traditional, I mean those candidates that are not in their junior year of undergrad, rather have already graduated from college and are career changers? Thanks in advance

Usually have to be a Junior in College. I've heard of BB's taking Seniors but i think even that is a stretch.
I know GS and JPM has soph programs. I think barcap might have one too
so sounds like all programs still require you to be in college...anyone hear of banks accepting college grads?
I think it would be a pretty big stretch to get on as an SA. I suppose you think FT is too big of a stretch given your background/experience?
Once in awhile. HR usually isn't as interested in considering you, but sometimes if you can network through front office folks. It would also help if you were applying to go back to school. A big factor is your grades and scores. Perhaps consider a temp job and see if you can grow it.
