I think that your best bet is probably to utilize your alumni network to get a shot somewhere. Connections are everything, especially in S&T.
As you know, S&T isn't really expanding so intern classes have been gradually shrinking at many banks, and often times return offers are not 100% simply because the headcount is not there. Many great interns in my class that got waitlisted because of this.
I also networked with a couple of banks after my stint and the response was that no outside recruiting would be done as spaces had been filled up by the intern class.
So basically unless you get in as a 20 yr old it is all based on luck and connections for the future, that's unfortunate. Did you end up staying at your firm or are you not in trading anymore?
Echo this.
Also I would add look at Long term or off cycle internship as if you get into these longer programs, you increase your odds also because the bank invests more money on you training for the position
That sucks.. are you able to defer your graduation and try for Summer 2021? Definitely easier to get in as an intern versus a full time hire, but both are really hard.
I guess that is an option but I do not think I will take it. Do you think it is worth it to stay in school a whole extra year for S&T?
