I think that's more reasonable than you might think considering you're starting so early. I work as a bank teller part-time during university and I have repeatedly been offered to be referred to the internal internship programs. Granted, we don't have IB, but I have had the option to intern in a pretty hands-on environment where I could work with risk, credit, etc. I work at a very small commercial bank, and this is likely quite different for a larger bank. With that said, developing any sort of presence and genuine referral internally very well could give you a leg up in IBD apps.
Ok,thanks for your advice
You should try to find other internships once you graduate and move to the US. No point staying as a bank teller and trying to internally transfer if you can just intern at another role.
The thing is I can't get an unpaid internship in Canada for the summer after hs because it's illegal.
bit late but regardless of if you decide to work as a teller or not you can absolutley do unpaid internships in canada
id say >90% of the kids recruiting into ib in canada do some sort of unpaid internship such as a search fund
Yes you can definitely do this plan. Just don’t expect the teller thing to be “transferrable” skill-set when recruiting for IB, you’ll need to lean on other stuff you pickup outside of that obviously.
Source: I was a teller all through CAD University and am now in IB.
I don’t know if it would be transferrable experience but something I would definitely do if you were a teller. Go into the org chart and download the contact information for all the investment bankers, and their hiring managers/ group heads. (Do spot checking against LinkedIn profiles)
