Sophomore SA Positions 2021 (Class of 2023)
Hello all,
I am currently a freshman (class of 2023) but I am struggling to find any substantial threads about firms offering positions to those between sophomore and junior years in 2021. Does anyone know companies that are going to be taking sophomores in 2021? I am a mathematical economics major at a liberal arts school, so the firms don't have to be BB lol. I am most interested in IB, but if you know of firms hiring for positions that are not IB, but PWM or other industries, I would be interested in that as well. I am asking now because I want to give myself as much time as possible to network to increase any chance I have of getting any position. I am NOT DIVERSITY, so keep that in mind as well. I am located near Chicago, so any Chicago-based companies would be great too.
those apps won't open until mid to late summer, at the very earliest. most internship programs for sophomore summer will open in the fall and through the winter. also, hard to land something at a BB/EB as a sophomore, especially non-diversity. look for smaller/regional banks that may have an internship program (several in Chicago that have internship programs). if you wanna be a step ahead, just start reaching out to ppl in the industry and network with everyone, whether they are in ib, pe, hf, consulting, tech, whatever (you may realize you like consulting more than ib for example, ya never know). you'll learn about the industries and be in a better spot than other kids. more networking = more opportunities. hope this helps.
