IBD London OC applications
Hi all,
Current final year at a Target University, did a summer at MBB, and have now got a full-time offer. Currently have no formal finance/ IBD experience at all, but I definitely want to intern at a BB before I start consulting full time, in case I want to exit to PE/ IBD. Any advice on how to go about applying to OCs? The current plan is to send off applications to all the BB/ EBs I've heard of through their portals, but is networking/ learning how to model DCFs/ re-doing my CV, etc. important too? Any and all help and advice is much appreciated :))
Networking isn't needed.
OC technical interviews tend to be a lot harder than summer ones so know your technicals down pat. BIWS 400 should be fine. Don't know about redoing your CV, unless there's stuff you took off for MBB that you'd want to add for finance.
Didn't know about that- thanks! In the past I struggled getting to the interview stages in the first place- is an MBB summer enough to get me through?
I honestly don't know. It's pretty rare I see a consultant who wants to try IB lol.
Just taking a guess, MBB, despite being MBB is still not that relevant to finance. I think it would still help if there were other things going for you on your CV like relevant ECs. If you have this stuff + you're coming from a target and not getting to interview stages, something is going wrong.

Yeah haha as a result it's hard to find resources on making the switch. Lovely, thanks a lot nutmegger :))
Personally wouldn’t turn down a full time MBB offer to recruit for ib off cycles…especially if PE is the goal.
I can push back the MBB start date to accommodate for the OC, so there isn't much of a downside
Why do you want to intern at a BB? Just to have that CV stamp? People move from consulting to PE too.
