TYPES OF

Applications

Early Insights Programs

Early insights programs consist of a wide range of initiatives and focus on a number of different audiences. While some invite students of all grades, most are applicable only to 1st- and 2nd-year students. Some are only available to Diversity and Inclusion candidates, while others are open to all candidates. And some are an hour or two on one day, whereas others are over an extended period of time, such as an hour a week for several weeks.

These programs typically involve a range of professionals who work at the firm. They provide insights into the company, tips on recruiting, and provide you with a new network. For most of them, you must apply and be accepted. And many of them enable you to proceed with their interview process for internships. It’s highly recommended that you apply for and attend as many of these programs as you can.

Sophomore Summer Internships

The sophomore summer internship is your summer internship between the sophomore and junior years. While the junior internship is a highly engineered recruiting process, the sophomore internship recruiting process is a mixed bag. There are several dozen of the 100+ firms that have sophomore summer programs where the objective is to recruit you for the junior summer internship – and ultimately a full-time position with the firm.

There are also an increasing number of private equity firms that offer sophomore summer internships, with the goal of recruiting you for a position that begins several years after landing your first full-time job. Outside of this select group of highly organized processes, recruiting for sophomore summer internships is all over the place. Students typically get internships in accounting, start-ups, boutique consulting and investment banking firms, wealth management, and a number of other types of companies.

Junior Summer Internships

The junior summer internship is the most common path toward a full-time position in investment banking, private equity, and other competitive front-office finance roles. In fact, most recruiting initiatives from the 100+ firms we monitor revolve around the junior summer internship, including early insights programs and sophomore summer internship recruiting. So it’s important for students to seize those opportunities early in order to be en route to the capstone of their undergraduate career.

TIMELINE FOR

Applications

Freshman Summer & Fall Semester Sophomore Year

The recruiting cycle for junior summer finance internships typically starts with applications for early insights programs that typically begin to come out during the summer before your sophomore year and continue into the fall semester of your sophomore year. Many of these are for Diversity & Inclusion candidates, but some are open to all candidates. There are a handful of junior summer internship applications that come out during the fall semester of sophomore year.

Spring Semester Sophomore Year

Once January or February of your sophomore year comes around, expect a lot of investment banking and private equity applications to be released, with interviews beginning soon after that. There is a flurry of activity from January to April. This timeframe is when many middle-market, independent boutique, and bulge-bracket investment banking summer analyst offers are made and accepted.

Sophomore Summer & Fall Semester Junior Year

If you still don’t have your junior summer internship lined up by the time your junior year rolls around, don’t give up hope. During the summer before your junior year and into the fall, many firms are likely to post quite a few applications. Emerging positions will include investment banking and private equity, as well as other attractive front-office fields, such as equity research, investment management, valuation services, and more.

Spring Semester Junior Year

Junior summer analyst positions continue to come out during the spring semester of your junior year as well. One thing that surprises us as we monitor applications is how many positions would expire and then pop back up weeks or even months later. These situations typically arise when positions are not filled. Firms often close applications, thinking they are done recruiting, only to re-post these same positions after realizing they still have a spot or two to fill.

Senior Year & Post Graduation

Many undergraduate students begin their senior year with a full-time position secured for after they graduate. However, many students are also looking for full-time employment throughout their senior year. Beginning in August or September, firms tend to start looking for seniors to fill open full-time positions. Additionally, post-graduation firms are always posting entry-level full-time positions for students looking to make a lateral move.
