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:
