Recently landed an internship position with a boutique PE/IB. Should I wait to apply for BB summer analyst positions?

Currently a senior at a non-target and I will be graduating in May. I have two previous internship experiences at a small PE group and a boutique investment bank. I just received an offer to join a PE/IB firm that will start November 3rd.

Should I hold off until late November to submit my summer analyst application to Goldman, Citi, Deustche, etc until I can talk about this new experience in my resume/cover letter?

Just apply and put the new internship Novemeber 2014-Current or however you have yours formatted. By the time anyone looks at your resume you'll have already started. Your responsibilities you can just make up or take from the job description when you applied.

make it hard to spot the general by working like a soldier
 

You wouldn't think that would be problematic if the application is dated in October but I hate November experience? Do you think putting the application off for a month would put me at a huge disadvantage?

 

This is another question I was planning on asking. From what I have heard, most BB firms try to hire the majority of their analyst classes from previous summer interns. Is it a bad idea to apply for SA as a graduating senior?

 

Hasn't that ship pretty much sailed for BB? I wanted to focus on SA because I figured I would have the best chance of getting in and the best chance of obtaining an offer from there.

 

There's still FT recruiting going on. Most of it was earlier in the year but you can still get in. I go to a target with OCR and there's still hiring, albeit to a lesser extent than SA but don't give up on it.
