I'm sure this topic is well-tread, but I'd love for someone to point me in the right direction. I'm looking for information on iBanking / consulting recruiting. I am a junior at a top university (a step below HYPSM) with a 3.6. I'm also a varsity athlete. Mostly looking for information about application process and what firms to target. Any help is appreciated

Are you expecting people to google this information for you and post it here?
No. I'm expecting people who have prior knowledge to comment or link to other threads, just like the other helpful poster.
I promise you its faster to just look it up instead of waiting for people to paraphrase the results for you. This is probably the single most thoroughly covered banking question ever.
If I were you I'd personally delay graduation by a semester to recruit for internships, as pretty much every bank except for regional shops with like 50 employees are finished recruiting. Recruiting for the summer of 2023 starts in only a few months. Also try and get something for this summer, even if it's just in the finance department at a company or something, that will help you a ton. You can 100% break in considering you’re at a top school and a varsity athlete if you hustle
Thanks. Do firms hire during senior year for analyst roles after graduation? Or is it all from their summer programs?
Yes you can recruit full time. You are expected to know more, it’s also a bit less structured, but you’re competing against much fewer people. I would say don’t target any of the top firms, just try and get into ibanking anywhere even if it’s a firm no one has heard of. You can always lateral to a better bank after a year, the part that is hardest is just getting the first job
The process is pretty much wrapped up for 2020 besides regional boutiques and some random open spots.
RBC opened for 2023 SA
EB will open February / March
Larger MM and Industry Boutiques Blair, Leerink, Houlihan, Baird, Raine, etc. all will open February - April
BB - June/July/August (MS,GS,JPM,etc.) Some MM as well.
RJ - August/Septemeber
HW - September/October
If you are at a top target you will have campus recruiting so will be more clear.
Thanks a bunch
If you don’t want to delay graduation you should network and get ready to recruit for full-time. There will be some FT spots and since you’re at a target you have a good shot at one of those if you prepare.
Should really poke around on this site for previous threads, can also look up the M&I article on it.
