Hey there! Given your situation, it seems like you're in a good position to apply for both Spring Week and SA (Summer Analyst) roles. Spring Weeks are typically aimed at first-year students in a three-year degree, but if you're considering a master's, you could potentially still be eligible.

On the other hand, SA roles are a great way to secure a full-time offer, as they're often the most structured path to getting one. If you perform well during your summer internship, you could be fast-tracked to final round interviews for a full-time position.

So, why not apply for both? This way, you're maximizing your opportunities. Just make sure to tailor your applications and show genuine interest in each role. Good luck!

Will they be likely to reject my spring weeks if they see me apply to SA positions in the same firm? Has anyone tried applying to both?
