To break into investment banking now, your strategy must be aggressive and highly tactical, given that 2026 summer analyst recruitment for most major banks has already closed. Your specific path will depend on whether you are a current undergraduate, a recent graduate, or a career changer. All paths require extensive networking, strong technical skills, and a polished personal narrative.
