MSF to IB Applications

Hi! does anyone have an application tracker for companies that take MSF students for IB summer internships or full-time roles? Also, has anyone tried applying to sophomore/junior summer internships as a master's student?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, there isn't a specific application tracker mentioned for MSF students targeting IB summer internships or full-time roles. However, here are some actionable tips:

  1. Networking: Leverage your alumni network, MSF program connections, and professional contacts. Reach out to people in your desired field, including undergrad alumni, professors, and industry professionals.

  2. Targeted Applications: Many banks hire primarily through their internship programs. Some firms, like Nomura, focus heavily on internship-to-full-time conversion. For MSF students, applying to full-time roles might be more competitive unless you have prior finance experience.

  3. Sophomore/Junior Internships: Applying to these as a master's student can be tricky since these roles are typically reserved for undergraduates. However, boutique banks or smaller firms might be more flexible. It's worth reaching out directly to recruiters or HR to clarify eligibility.

  4. Resources: Check out threads like the "2019 SA Sophomore Internships Thread" or "Updated Summer 2019 SA Open Applications" for insights into application timelines and firms hiring for internships. For example:

    • J.P. Morgan: Corporate & Investment Bank Investment Banking Summer Analyst Program
    • Morgan Stanley: Sophomore Summer Analyst Program (diversity-specific)

If you're looking for more structured advice, consider setting measurable goals for networking, applications, and interviews to stay on track.
