MSc Finance RSM - Chances of breaking into London IB
I am a 22 year old Spanish male and I've been admitted to MSc Finance and Investments at RSM and I wanted to know what are my chances to land a M&A summer internship in London with this master program. I've studied Business and Law and I have no relevant experience, just a commercial banking internship (that is the main reason why I am pursuing a masters). I know RSM is a semi target and a few people go to London every year, but they are usually Dutch and I would like to know if it's possible to break into London IB if you are not Dutch.
Hey, yes of course you can. Plently at Goldman Sachs for instance or JP Morgan (just do a quick linkedin search) :) However, like with every school not only RSM, your internships will help greatly. Even more than just the school ;) Good luck!!!
I can't answer your question, but when did the application for that close? Impressive for it to be entirely done before Xmas.
The application closed a few days ago. I applied at the beggining of October because the application closes earlier every year.
I had zero idea it closed this early
Yes you can as I am doing the programme currently. Have friends working in BBs, pretty much all banks have alumni from the school. Just have solid grades and relevant experience, the moment I got an IB internship under my belt many of the banks were willing to give me a look.
Was it difficult to land that 1st IB internship? My undergrad grades are not the best, just good enough to get into the program.
For context, I got my internship in the Netherlands non-BB. Regarding my grades - They were barely above the requirement of RSM. I had 7.2 compared to the 7.0 requirement. Grades don't matter to an extent, shit grades will get you filtered out instantly, experience is still king.
