Can anyone provide some color on where the majority of MM IBD firms are in the recruiting cycle for MBA Summer Associates? I know some firms, HW/Jefferies/Moelis for example, have concluded there recruiting for the summer while some of the lower-tier firms have superdays coming up in the first week of February. Does anyone know if the majority of firms are done at this point or if there are some firms that still recruit in February.

Can you give us a rough idea of your school (2-3 peers)? A lot of banks will have at least one-off openings in the spring if a bunch of people quit a particular group once bonuses post and hiring needs change.
Banks extend offers to people who may have offers from 5-6 other banks, so if the same bank happens to get turned down a whole lot, they'll need to come back to fill up their summer classes as well.
Smaller banks may not go out of their way to hire summer associates but be willing to do so if they like someone, so hustle your alumni network. Just get some summer associate position at any bank and you'll have a chance to move up during FT recruiting.
Summer Associate - Timing (Originally Posted: 05/28/2014)
Hi All,
Quick question some of you may be able to help me with. I'm entering B-School next fall and plan on trying to land a BB Summer Associate position in ECM or IBD. I'm also trying to plan my wedding however. Is anyone able to help lay out the traditional time-frames the summer associate programs run?
Most of the firms' websites simply state 8-10 weeks but don't give an indication of start/end dates. Would be very appreciative of any help.
Thanks,
Varies by bank, but usually early june to mid august.
My internship with JPM in Tokyo starts next Monday and ends August 8th. However, it does vary by bank like the guy above said.
Do they have multiple start dates? Some schools (e.g. Kellogg) Don't finish class until mid-late June.
@"OpsDude" not usually. In turn, the school will coordinate with you to have you take your finals off-site or early. So you will typically start at the same time with other MBAs for the summer, but may miss a few weeks of your Spring quarter as a result.
Well, that's going to be annoying, going straight from finals to working.
On the plus side that should leave you time with for a vacation on the back end - and you'll hopefully have some cash in your pocket too.
Summer Associate Recruiting (Originally Posted: 09/07/2016)
Looking to get a head start on Summer Associate ops. I had very non-traditional entry into my first analyst gig, so I am a bit unfamiliar with the summer internship recruiting process. Looking for REPE, REIT, and possibly lending opportunities. Currently in the first year of the RE Masters program at Georgetown.
Other than campus resources, anyone have any suggestions as to where to start digging?
Thanks!
Highly interested as well
Contact the companies now. Some start super early. Others won't tell you until April. It's really scattershot.
