Too late for spot in 2014 analyst class?
Hi everyone,
I was hoping for advice. I did not get a full time IBD offer and interned at a BB in their corporate finance (not IBD) group. I worked on modeling, valuation, etc so I have the technical skillset. I did not get a full time offer this summer and am hoping there is still time to network and acquire a spot in the 2014 analyst class. Am I mistaken? Are there usually no openings?
Thanks
Difficult/very difficult
If US is difficult, why not try some other country. For example, continental Europe's application deadlines (especially for smaller places) are much later. Otherwise, networking, networking, networking.
I was actually thinking about that.. I am working on some last minute stuff to boost resume and will be sending out christmas break. Any firms you recommend in europe?
This is the London list (deadlines for many have passed already) http://www.askivy.net/articles/investment-banking/interview-preparation…
Continental Europe's list is something I don't have but searching "Investment banks in Austria, Netherlands, etc" will give you an overview. If you only speak English there are still a few places, like the Netherlands that have non-dutch speaking places in the bigger firms at least and also (this might be a surprise) Austria where many banks focus on the CEE region and as there are so many different languages there they end up working in English and conducting business in English with clients as well. Switzerland is another possibility, there is a website that has all investment banks & PE shops there, a simple search would locate it.
Agree with above posters that it is difficult to very difficult at this point for BBs. But in non NYC locations and with MM's/Boutiques/Regionals you could still have a lot of luck.
There will also be a few available spots in the spring as firms realize they need a few more or people cannot take the job anymore for some reason. Keep in contact with people and something will come up/
guys thanks so much for all the help.. this is my first post and I am more than appreciative to have gotten such helpful responses. Great community on WSO
Yeah, pay it forward and let us know what happens in the end. Might be helpful :) Good luck
Are you a graduating senior? Better start emailing.
Would banks located in Europe hire a summer analyst from the U.S though?
