So I'm a rising sophomore at a target school. What should I be doing right now if I want to land a top job in financial services (IB or HF). Should I be applying to the summer analysts programs for next year or are those for rising juniors only? If not, where should I be applying for next summer? Thanks.

In a similar situation as well. I’ve been applying to all the sophomore formal programs I could find (only BBs so far) I saw one rising sophomore post that they got a S&T super day for a BB though I have no idea where or how.
