Hello everyone. How difficult is it to get into Summer Associate positions without any prior summer analyst experience? How does it vary target vs non target and MBA vs Masters in Finance?

Let's say I have an MS in finance. How difficult would it be for me to get in compared to those with MBAs?
You need an mba, a ms without any experience at all is worthless for associate roles, you will start as an analyst.
Yes, I can confirm this. From the multiple MS Finance students that have reached out or that I have spoken to have told me that it's very competitive to get an interview for a Summer Associate position without prior relevant experience. Most were not completely rejected but asked if they wanted to be considered for a summer analyst or analyst position.

No one who is a summer associate was an IBD summer analyst more or less
