curious to know as well. Would also love to know how to maximize chances of getting return offer.
teach yourself pandas and numpy in Python. maybe take a large data set such as historical stock price and try to create your own analysis of the data
this was literally just a suggestion of 2 important libraries to learn for data analysis in python & a large enough data set you could practice on to become comfortable with using them...
Lol will we even have time to do coding projects this summer - we have like a week on each rotation...
Don’t listen to that guy. Coding will not help your internship unless you’re on a desk like credit indices or something. The desk will train you and assign you ad hoc projects. Rest up in the meantime, and focus on putting 100% effort once the internship starts.
Source: Did 2 S&T internships at 2 different BBs
i'd say that half the S&T desks will have value from a programming background/ability....and the other half won't.
However, zero desks will see this knowledge and ability as a downside...there is only upside learning to code.
Also, you should be following markets and market news. Follow zerohedge on twitter while watching the markets (S&P futures, Treasury Bond Futures, Crude Oil, Gold). Read everything they post, and if you don't understand something, go use google to learn about it. This will be a fulltime job for most students as there is so much to learn.
any advice on how to beat get a return offer as a summer analyst?
depends on the desk
