Summer Analyst Predicament - London
Hey guys, I am starting an S&T summer analyst role at a bulge bracket in London. I live roughly 50 minutes from the office with my parents however I know S&T is notorious for its early starts which may mean living near the office may make life easier however I'm not sure if its worth getting a place closer to the office as rent prices in London are outrageous and I will have to pay for bills, food etc myself rather than it already being provided at home further adding to the cost.
Any advice?
8 week sprint to get a return offer fuck the money ur getting paid better than 90% of people in this city. Maximise p(returnoffer) dont worry about a little 5k in rent u have ur entire career
Took the advice and ended up with a return 🙏
Congratulations! I want to target S&T roles at BB in London for 2027 summer and i just haven’t found as much info as IB for what it takes for you to get interviewed.
I’m assuming you had peers in the cohort so you have a good sample size. Do you mind sharing what you guys’ profiles were like? Past internships?
I’m a student at a top target in Europe (HSG/HEC) and don’t have a stellar internship secured yet (would probably get a Big4 TAS one) and wanted to see how feasible S&T would be
Good point
@gagagagavabanau gives good advice. You want to do everything you can to maximise a return offer. A few £k in rent is annoying but not worth a big career setback like not getting a return. Look at student halls that rent out to interns in the summer maybe, it can definitely be tricky to find somewhere tho
