Is applying late worth it ?
Hi everyone, pleasure to make a first post here.
I'm a UK fresher and my question is as follows : does applying now (so very late) for 2023 summer internships penalise my chances for next year's applications ?
Considering the timeline I'm looking mostly at HF/Prop Trading firms, and I've had a hard time gauging out the impact of a late application. The lateness of the thing means that even though I'm quite confident in my CV, I imagine getting an offer would be highly unlikely. As such, I wonder if it's worth the "risk" considering that getting binned so close to the time when applications for 2024 open may impact firms' perception of me.
If it is indeed a bad move to apply for these, would you have any advice as to what I could do ? (I'm aware that as a freshman it's still early but I'm genuinely interested in doing something for the summer and would love an opportunity to confirm my interest)
Is it worth it? Yes if you think the probability of your application ending up in an offer is non-zero
Will it impact your future applications? Probably not, would be a super weird thing for HR to fixate on
Timing - Being a fresher will disadvantage you as most internships are feeder programs into their grad schemes so will only take in 2nd/3rd years
Genuinely though if you can get a respectable HF or Prop trading internship in first year, you've smashed it.
