For IB Summer Analyst positions, how important is a prior finance internship on the resume?
I am applying for SA 2022, but I have no finance internships on my resume. I go to a well-respected school that sends a lot of kids to top places (but below HYP) and have a ~3.9 GPA. I also have good extracurricular/leadership experience and I *think* I interview well. This summer, I am doing economic research with a faculty member at my school, whereas many of my peers are doing PE and AM stuff. How big of a disadvantage is this? My only finance-related experience is a finance club on campus. I haven't had the greatest results in the recruiting process thus far, and am wondering if I should try to lock down an off-cycle finance-related internship that I can put on my resume for later applications.
3 words: networking is king
I think it's less important if you go to a target school. As long as you can show that you know what IB entails and can interview well, you should be fine. Some of the strongest interns I worked with did not have prior IB or PE experience.
