What should I apply for?

I’m a student that will finish the master at a French target school (not HEC) in December, I’ve almost 1 year of experience in IB (with an off-cycle at a prestigious indipendent investment bank in Milan). I would work in London at a Bulge Bracket or PE, do you think I should apply for SA 2024 or Full Time from December 2024? In which of the two would I have a better chance? (I did not take any SA for this summer)

Is there any benefit to choose an internship over a full time role for 2024?

 

I didn’t get any offers so far, so I’ll have to apply and obviously I think it’s easier to get SA offer over FT offer (obviously I would choose the latter), In many banks I cannot apply for both

If you recruited for a 2024 internship, would you join full time a year later, or would groups allow you to join immediately upon receiving an offer?

If you do not receive an offer from the internship, it sounds like you would have to search for full time jobs once again.

 

Why work in London vs Paris if you went to school in France? Is the pay significantly different?
