JPM and GS private banking 2026 intenrship

Hi all,

I’m currently a sophomore majoring in Accounting and Finance. I’ve completed two different Wealth Management internships and am looking to learn more about the timeline for JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs Private Banking/PWM internships for 2026. Specifically, I’d like to know when the applications open, which cities have the best teams, and any other relevant details.

Thanks!

Based on the most helpful WSO content, here's what you need to know:

  1. Timeline for Applications: Historically, applications for JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs Private Banking/PWM internships open early, often in the spring or summer of the year prior to the internship. For 2026 internships, you should expect applications to open around spring or summer 2025. It's crucial to monitor their careers pages and set alerts for updates.

  2. Best Cities for Teams:

    • JPMorgan: New York City is a standout location due to its size, prestige, and exposure to high-net-worth clients. Other strong offices include Chicago and San Francisco.
    • Goldman Sachs: Similarly, New York City is the hub for PWM, with strong teams also in Chicago, Los Angeles, and Miami.
  3. Additional Tips:

    • Networking is key. Reach out to alumni or professionals in these firms to gain insights and potentially secure referrals.
    • Prepare for interviews by focusing on behavioral questions and technical knowledge. The WSO Private Wealth Management/Private Banking Guide is a great resource for interview prep.
    • Consider attending any networking events or spring sessions hosted by these firms, as they can give you a leg up in the application process.

If you're looking for more detailed preparation, the WSO Investment Banking Interview Prep and Private Equity Interview Prep resources can also be helpful.
