Sophomore Summer Recruiting
Hello,
Back again.
A lot of research has been done for preparing for your junior summer internship, like recruiting in your sophomore spring.
What about recruiting for sophomore summer (sophomore to junior summer), is that in the fall and how does that work? Is it analogous to recruiting for your junior summer internship?
Also I hear a lot about diversity being preferred for such roles, I am not a diversity by first-gen or underrepresented groups, but I’ve also never had any family pursue finance (in the form of investment banking or private equity) whatsoever. Not sure if that even matters though

Could be wrong but most BB/EB soph summer spots go to diversity candidates. Very very few spots even for diversity candidates.
Most people who do a BB/EB junior summer internship did their sophomore summer at a regional boutique investment bank or LMM/MM PE firm. You just have to check LinkedIn for postings and other sites. I believe they open and have their processes throughout your sophomore year.
I will be at an EB this summer and just chilled my sophomore summer since it’s the last summer I won’t have to work. There’s really no pressure to do something. Sometimes they’ll ask in interviews what you’re doing for your soph summer but most don’t ask or care.
