Internal mobility for BB SA's at the end of the summer?

Does anyone know what the process is for Summer Analysts wanting to switch divisions at the end of the summer, whether it be for FT or for another SA the following year

-Does HR formally reach out? -Is your return offer automatically forfeited?

hey @centrum this is what happened amongst my network of people in multiple BBs: - JPM: after successful SA went from S&T offer for Full Time to SA offer for IBD - Citi: after offer extension for Full Time in CMO following a SA, successfully switched into S&T Full Time

As a general note, when you are a good performer, especially in SA, mobility is very flexible - in case headcount is available. At Citi and JPM you are asked beforehand if you have interest in another division and the discussion with HR follows from there

Hope this helps.

 

Can you elaborate at all? My friend who summered in M&A said it isn't easy, but definitely doable. Looking through older threads, others on WSO have said it's quite possible as well.

 

I think you are as confused as you are about why interest rates are tax deductible.

IBD consists of M&A, DCM, ECM, LevFin, and Restructuring. S&T is a completely different division within a bank. ER, while sometimes collaborates with the IBD, is also a separate division.
