Sumitomo Mitsui's 6 month analyst training program
Hi WSO,
I saw a posting for Sumitomo Mitsui's 6 month analyst training program. I was wondering if anyone on WSO had any experience with the program? Does Mitsui do this in lieu of the traditional summer analyst programs. How many hours per week during the school year is one required to work? I think it looks like a great program from both the student and bank's prospective.

It is not an internship. It is more of an internal training program geared towards you learning more about the firms culture and employees. Theyre fairly new to US full-time recruiting, so they use this program to hedge any potential bad eggs (if I recall this is only their 5th year doimg actual FT recruitiing in the U.S).
Disclaimer: i was accepted last year, but ultimately declined for a BB. Great firm and people, though
J.P. Morgan used to have a similar program until the early to mid 90s. Pretty sick if you ask me.
This looks more like corporate banking though?
They do a ton, primarily opening large lines of credit for project finance in the oil and gas regions. But know a friends who currently works there and have heard they work on some M&A deals and traditional ibd work. But, as stated earlier, corporate leding and lines of credit is theit main business
