Do companies care whether you graduate in spring or after the summer? Will they use this to weigh in your summer analyst candidacy?
What about the typical scenario where you need an extra semester to graduate. So you will graduate in December instead. Will that ruin your chances for summer internships since you are not exactly graduating Spring 2011 but Fall 2011.

Some places will let you start 'early' if you graduate in December.
How many credit will you be taking in the summer? Because if it's under a certain threshold you should still walk in May/June.
Why does it matter when you walk?? I graduated a semester late, and as long as you can drop your resume through the recruitment channel at your Uni - it shouldn't matter.
Not quite sure what you're asking, but if you're graduating in the Fall of 2011, you should do your SA stint during the summer of 2011, and you would start full time either with everyone else during the summer of 2012, or earlier if you and the bank want in the winter of 2012. Banks won't hold it against you if you're graduating during the Fall. If you're graduating during the summer, there might be a little problem since most programs start with training in July or August, so you'd probably have to talk with your bank to try to work something out.

Would it be possible to to intern this summer and the following summer as well? It is always great to have more exp under your belt anyway. The question is, will banks let.

Graduating in Summer? (Originally Posted: 08/01/2007)
If you graduate in summer are you pretty much screwed out of full time recruiting?
yeah, but i'd check back frequently to look for open positions and wait until the fall to apply for full time jobs that begin in 2008.
Send you resume into one of the many Headhunters who work with the MD's on desk to fill positions. I got alot of offers this way
Most banks start training in July. When are you graduating?
how do you get contacts with headhunters? Is there any rules and etiquette? Or do i just find thier info on thier site and just send them an email?
What about if you graduate after the fall semester instead of in the spring?
What if i graduate this summer and do a SA? (Originally Posted: 04/26/2008)
I have accepted a 08 SA offer from a bb, when i was originally going to graduate in early 09. However, recently my tutor asked me whether i would like to graduate ahead in this summer, probably at early June before SA, as i have already done everything needed for graduation.
I wondering if i gradute this summer, would it affect my SA and the possible FT offer? I have cleared the background check of SA.
I understand it may not work, but is anyone have similar experiences before?
Any thoughts appreciated!
You would not be eligible for a FT offer.
The HR said almost the same thing.. the only difference is that i would not be eligible for a SA, but the question is i have already completed the check. Maybe i shall ask her again...thank you all.
Good question...my gf is graduating this May (only took 3 years) from Columbia and has a reputable (not BB) IB SA spot. She missed FT recruiting because she did not realize it was so early and has been a little worried about getting FT in the fall. She doesnt mind taking a year off but obviously wants to secure something for at least the 2009 FT Analyst class.
Will she be able to use campus recruiting (depends on campus I guess...?) or at least be able to reach out to some of the large banks and still be recruited?
*Please dont say "why doesnt she come on here and ask" because she is extremely busy right now and I thought I would do here a favor.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Not strictly true, I have a friend who started an internship at UBS, and 4 weeks through they put him straight onto the full-program
I have a number of friends from last summer who started work directly after their internship (at the same i-bank)
Monkeymadness - if the firm she is working for know that she has graduated and is ready to commence a full-time role, depending on headcount considerations, she may be made a full-time offer to start immediately.
Another example, a friend of mine is interning at BlackRock this summer, with a view to travelling for a year afterwards and then returning to London to work in 2009 - when he interviewed for the intern position, they asked him what he would do if they made him a FT offer at the end of the internship, he said he would take it.
But I'm not sure how prevalent this practice is in the States though
Ask Dosk, he'll know :)
Thanks for the input
suck it up and take an extra quarter then enjoy yourself for 2 quarters.
What can I do? - Graduating this summer (Originally Posted: 02/10/2012)
I\'m graduating this summer and I made up my mind that the types of jobs people on this forum want isn\'t something I want to get into. I\'d like to move to the gulf for work, Qatar or UAE.
My resume is linked at the end of this post. What can I do with Business degree?

Looks like more on the IT side. Maybe consider supporting a risk management team (Java)... Do you know C++ in addition to C? Take any advanced stats? Did you build models in your financial analysis courses?
You studied finance but you\'ve never interned at a financial firm?
Not a fan of putting operating systems, productivity tools (MS office) or presentation skills.
Your objective statement is too wordy and it doesn\'t really list an objective. Rather you\'re describing your own personality/skills.
Why do you want to the gulf, Qatar? What industry? Energy? SWF? Other? Look into Asia too, aka Singapore, for finance although you would need BB experience or an American MBA to be competitive.
