Conversion Rate S&T SA Intern Barclays London

Hi,

I recently received an offer from Barclays for this summer as an S&T Summer Analyst. I don’t have professional experience in Markets yet, although I have strong results in several hackathons (Citadel, Jane Street, etc.). I’m currently in the penultimate year of my studies (HEC Paris, with prior MEng in Quantum Physics).

I’m concerned that if I don’t convert this internship into a full-time offer, I will have to compete next year with students who have 1+ years of experience (2 off-cycle instead of 1 summer internship (common in Paris)), which makes me worried about my chances in the job market.

Am I right to be concerned about this, and should this make me reconsider accepting the offer?

Also, do you know what the average conversion rate into a full-time offer is?

Thanks a lot.

Sales & Trading Career Roadmap (optional)

“John listened before giving advice. I told him I had accepted an offer at Bank of America but was still interested in JLL and Wellington. Instead of telling me what to do, he asked what I wanted from my career and helped me think about which path would give me more options. I also liked that he was honest about what he knew and didn’t know. He gave me a clear reason to keep working toward JLL, while reminding me that Bank of America was still a good place to start. When I practiced my interview answer, he told me what worked and gave me one simple way to improve it. That made the feedback easy to use. Most of all, John made me feel less stressed about figuring everything out right now. He offered to help with a mock interview too, which meant a lot to me. ”

Sales & Trading Mock Interview

“The mentor provided extremely detailed and thoughtful feedback throughout our session. What I appreciated most was that the advice was not generic. He took the time to understand my background, past experiences, and the specific roles I am currently recruiting for, and then tailored his suggestions accordingly. He also connected many of his recommendations to his own professional background and experiences, which made the feedback much more practical and credible. Instead of simply telling me what to change, he explained why certain answers or approaches would be more effective and how an interviewer might interpret them. He also shared specific examples from his own experience to illustrate his points. I came away from the session with a much clearer understanding of both my strengths and the areas I should improve, as well as several concrete ways to strengthen my interview preparation. Overall, the session was extremely helpful, personalized, and actionable, and I would definitely work with him again.”
