When to start trying for "Fall Analyst" IB Positions (NYC)
I'm an incoming sophomore at a NYC school - interning at a PE firm this summer in Los Angeles. I'm looking to intern part-time at (probably) a boutique IB firm over the semester and winter-break. My question is, when should I start cold-emailing/calling individuals at these banks for fall positions - as I won't actually be in NYC until late August? Additionally, at boutique firms should I aim for MD's / VP's or Analysts/Associates?
If anyone in NYC has had some success in finding banks to work at part-time over the fall semester, please let me know.
Start now. You might be late already as the application process takes a quite a long time. The interns just started the summer internship and the IBD are going to offer some of them positions. In general the supper application process starts already in fall.
Even if you are in LA, you can still start networking and try to arrange interviews for late August. Use LinkedIn or your existing network to contact the right people. Look for Analysts & Associates in PE either at BB's or boutiques and try to get as much insight as possible. They to write with them on a friendly basis, they are generally able to help you or to introduce you to the right MD's.
Honestly, I would look for small/middle boutiques or some HF who offer PE position. You can market yourself as an 2-3 day a week assistant.
Or you can just go to school in the fall like a normal person and apply for IB for the summer of your soph year.
Fall analyst as a sophomore? (Originally Posted: 07/24/2017)
I'm going to be a sophomore at a target (HYP) this fall. Currently in an internship not super related to finance at all (marketing) unless you count sales. I'm wondering if it would be worthwhile to even apply for a fall analyst position this semester? I'll be taking harder classes in the fall and rushing a frat, so I don't want to mess up my 3.9 by taking on more than I can handle. The fall analyst position was posted on my school's Handshake, it's a boutique IB in NYC. My school is pretty close to NYC (1-1.5 hour train ride). The listing says they prefer juniors and older - is it even worth applying? And if I do somehow get a position, should I do it? Or would it be too much of a time commitment on top of school stuff, which is arguably the most important thing right now in preparation for SA 2019 recruiting (my junior summer)?
Honestly you're the only one who can make that call. Doubtful you'd get the position as a sophomore with no experience but would look nice if you got it
