I am a senior in college applying for IB internships. Currently work as an invoice auditor for DHL and can’t seem to find a bank that will take a chance on me. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Better to seek this advice on WallStreetOasis. Blind isn’t the place to find IB advice.

      Agreed. One thing worth mentioning is that if your graduation date is within 12 months of the application window for the internships, you’ll most likely be auto-filtered out / rejected for that.

      You’re best chance is trying to be an off-cycle hire (requires networking, and can be difficult), or go the MBA Route (can be a waste if it’s not a reputable program).

      Not impossible, but networking is your only chance if you don’t get an MBA to buy time for internships. Best of luck.

      I agree, but being an off cycle hire usually means your amazing. I used to pick them up as my analysts because they were by far the best and I could filter on it easily.

  • What school did you go to? It matters in IB…

    But why go into IB? There are higher paying / better jobs out there— just join a tech company

    IB was the top dog in the 80s but those days are long gone with the average Ibanker making less than a run of the mill software engineer IC
