Hey everyone,
I wanted to get some advice as to how I can break into a BB or EB investment banking firm for IB next year for summer internships.
Context : On track to achieve First Class (1st year grade) in a target uni (Oxbridge, LSE, Imperial, UCL, Warwick) studying Economics, completed a spring week in one of the top Elite Boutiques (think Evercore, PJT, Lazard, Roths) but unfortunately didn’t get a conversion. Feedback for not getting converted was a lack of M&A technicals compared to other candidates (who were mostly 2nd years). I’m also in my uni’s sought after finance club.
Is there anything I can do or should do in order to put myself in the best position moving forward? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated p, whether it’s extremely micro (eg CV structure and tailoring) or bigger picture (eg accounting technicals).
Thank you!
