Sophomore SA BB (Global Markets) To Junior SA BB (IBD)

BB junior IB recruiting starts in a month and onwards so networking starts there. There is a really good updated post for firms that sponsor visa so I’d just search for that. Just to clarify, you are a sophmore looking to leverage your incoming summer internship right?

 

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.
