How to apply to Springs when I have a 2025 summer
After managing to convert my 2024 Spring Week, I have managed to land a 2025 SA role at a top bank (MS/LAZ/JPM). I want to continue to recruit for springs in 2025 whilst I have my summer in the same year for multiple reasons.
> I may decide to do a masters and therefore cannot start FT in 2026
> I want a back-up in case I do not convert
> Extra money during spring holiday would be nice
I hated competing against 2nd years, but I guess I need to continue the vicious cycle. How do I go about recruiting for springs again? Should I remove my experience from LinkedIn and my CV? Should I change my graduation date to 2027 etc.
You converted Laz well done. Don’t ever compare MS JP with Laz.
100% agree. It's also obvious how he got Laz too, sad how he tried hiding it with 2 such good banks.
hey, im sorta in the same situation as u (swapping uni from a semi/non target to target so re-starting first year) I also have a return offer but in big4 financial advisory so gonna try use springs this yr to really target IB.
I think it should be ok to put ur spring on ur CV as long as u explain in interviews why if they ask(probably the im doing a masters/year abroad excuse is best)
Congrats on Laz offer!
Maybe one of the silliest posts ever. You have an amazing summer offer and should do everything you can to convert it to FT. I cannot think for the life of me why you would needlessly delay a FT job, and a great one at that, for a master's degree in horsing around.
I want to go to Oxford Msc Financial Economics to fill the gap in soul as I am a prestige obsessed individual who has not gotten over my rejection 18 months ago

Congrats on Laz!
I find people who do this incredibly strange and it would make me less likely to support a candidate getting a return offer if I knew they were doing this.
This may be a hot take, but in this market I really would not care. At my BB last summer we had to turn down some very competent interns, some of whom I personally vouched for, simply for headcount reasons. I was also recently laid off. If I had some type of mechanism available to me that would give me a guarantee of joining a competitor in just a year from now and taking a slight title downgrade to ASO2 in the case that I was laid off then I would most definitely use that fucking mechanism. Lateral market is dead, Layoffs everywhere, Return offers are bad, the job market is dead. Being laid off recently, after having been mid/top bucket my entire career really showed me the perspective that the whole loyalty to firms thing is absolute BS. You are a mere number to these firms until you make VP, and this is especially emphasised in a market like this. Would not fault a kid for doing a spring to get a backup summer internship, if anything it's probably a pretty smart thing to do in an environment like this. Even in the case of reneging, I still really would not care. Summer interns and AN1s are extremely easy and quick to replace so it would not really affect me or my team. If this was a normal market, maybe my perspective would be slightly different.
