I’d start just really familiarizing yourself with the market through a few newsletter or the such, and then start technical prepping through an online guide. Look up a networking guide too

 

Bump. I'd love to hear from someone who has made the switch from S&T BB SA to IBD BB SA.

 

Since it’s pre-internship, your sophomore internship desk doesn’t matter that much. Network with whatever teams interest you & have a strong narrative for why you want to work in IB instead of S&T before you even start the internship.
