Which FT roles to apply to with no summer internship? (London)
What it says on the tin. Which gradaute roles at investment banks would I have the best chance at (assuming good grades and extracurricular). Please don't just say operations hahaha.
I know I don't have a fiddler's chance in heaven for FT IB, but how would I fair in adjacent roles like Corporate Banking, Equity Research etc.
ER - arguably more competitive than IB given that there’s a tenth of the headcount. Maybe at a 3rd rate shop
Corp Banking - maybe as some third rate banks? You aren’t getting into a BB corp banking ft with no work experience unless you’re diversity at a top target
S&T - lol no
Ops, compliance etc grad schemes might be better suited. Conversely a lot more boutique/smaller consultancies you could have a shot at
Depressing, but as I suspected. I do go to Warwick but have a fat 0 on the diversity bingo.
How competitive would you say the Tech grad schemes at banks are without relevant work experience?

Thank you- terrific write-up with a lot of great info. Would you say a person (from a STEM background, naturally) has a decent shot at BB/EB tech grad schemes sans a summer internship?
I must admit thatt I am absolutely clueless when it comes to MO/BO functions and not afraid to say it.
Not sure why you’d want to do tech at a bank if you could do something much cooler and get paid more or less the same at a start up or get paid much better at a big tech firm. Banks are great for front office, not sure I’d recommend any other roles at banks - people will treat you like shit because you are not at the core of what they do.
As to why tech at a bank:
Illum dolore nesciunt laborum voluptatem. Rem dolore voluptas non nulla et sit et. Doloribus quasi voluptatum assumenda fuga. Nulla ad consequatur commodi culpa. Non quis omnis atque dolor. Quas aut consequatur quo qui voluptatibus.
