What to expect during your IB summer internship and how to secure the full-time offer
I have just left my role as an Associate at a top bulge-bracket bank and with intern season around the corner, I thought I would give back to the community with a guide for Summer Analysts on how to convert your internship, and secure the full-time offer. Needless to say I have seen the good, the...
J.P. Morgan Breakup Song
Thoughts on this J.P. Morgan Breakup Song? Listen to the song in the comments. Lyrics: In the heart of finance, under the city lights, I gave my all, through endless days and nights. Dreams of numbers, and suits, where I found my place, But in the end, it seems, I've lost the race. JP Morgan, you've...
Withdrawal Of Return Offer - Not My Fault
I have been caught in a horrible situation. For the prior summer I was a PE SA for a L MM PE shop in the Dallas area. I had a great time and the team did as well. I received a return offer and was the first intern in the firm's history to receive a return offer (of over 25 previous interns). During...
analyst doesn't like me
hi, i'm a current junior who is an incoming sa at a west coast eb. In the group I'm going to be working in, there is one incoming analyst (current senior) who goes to my school that I'm pretty sure doesn't like me for whatever reason. Assuming he doesn't want me to get a return offer, how screwed am...
To recruit or not to Recruit?: Got an IB Internship for next summer, should I still be recruiting for the following?
I’ve got an internship in IB next summer, which comes with a return offer should I perform well. That being said should I still be recruiting with other firms come January/February when applications open, or should I just try to convert my internship into a full time? Or perhaps maybe even both?

Hello—can anyone who has worked at/interned at/known someone who was at D.E. Shaw comment on the internship return offer rate for the fund's discretionary teams? Some posts on WSO talk about it being a low ~20% but I am not sure if thats still the case.
Bain Capital Return Offer Rates?
Anybody have numbers on Bain Cap. return offer rates for PE, PC, and SS? Heard that some of the other MFs like Bx and KKR were bloodbaths for PE (and Silver Lake seems to have axed their analyst program), but are the other teams doing ok?
UBS Generalist Return?
Just got the return offer and I was wondering if everyone got generalist including CS interns. My team said they'd love to welcome me back and placement is happening in September. Idk if it's that I'm not good enough that they did not put me on the short list for the team
Am I overthinking
Last week of internship here, at a BB where communication and program coordination is eh. Went to a coffee chat with an ED on the team today and one of the questions he asked me is “What are your future plans? Are you coming back?” I know the FTs had the roundtable discussion last week and this...
Last Minute Shot?
I work in a coverage group in a NYC EB this summer, and have been doing my absolute best to land a return offer, but the competitive nature and gunners make it impossible to know for sure if I can land FT. One week left until my final case study presentation, what's a one-time thing I can do to land...
Should I be interviewing for other firms during the summer as a SA
I am currently a SA (one of two) at a MM PE firm. I love the team and find the work really interesting, so would absolutely work there FT if given an offer. Considering its not a traditional BB internship program, when I accepted the SA offer, I made sure to confirm with my recruiter that return...

Asking for a cold offer at the end of the summer?
Hey WSO, I was part of a summer analyst class of 15 kids, in which only 2 of us were extended offers. Apparently, a lot of the decision was due to "budget cuts"; having talked to the other analysts, that was the reason cited for the lack of return offers and not actually quality of work. Feeling a...
Investment Banking during recession?
With recent bank earnings reports showing a pretty grim outlook on the IB front, is anyone else concerned about return offer rates for this summer? Considering that recessions typically last ~2 years, will next summer's SA's be hit even harder? Also, for anyone who is old enough to have experienced...
How did you manage to get a return offer from another team as a summer intern?
Incoming IB summer intern at a BB. Was aiming for an industry group but got placed into a team with apparently very few exit opps (Niche, less technical, broad coverage). Most importantly, no headcount, so a return offer from the same team is not possible. If I aim to get an offer from another team,...
Senior Year after Return Offer from EB
Received a return offer from an EB in NYC after graduation and super stoked about the opportunity. However, I'm finding myself having an awful lot of extra time during my senior year since I don't have to worry about internships/clubs/recruiting anymore. I want to take a break from finance-related...

Barclays Offer Letter Times are Ridiculous
Barclays taking a month and counting from verbal offer to offer letter for not one, not two, but all SAs with return offers. Are they trying to make sure people interview/accept offers elsewhere? Surely no other bank’s HR is this inefficient?
Boston 2022 FT analyst opportunities?
Friend of mine just got a return offer at an EB/Upper MM in NYC, but wants to move to boston for fulltime for personal reasons. Said firm doesn't have an office in boston so she will be looking to lateral. Any thoughts on where to look? Banks that are hiring for FT 2022?
GS IBD AFG Return Rates
Saw one on MS and thought I'd ask as well. Joining GS IBD in their Americas Financing Group next summer (NYC office). Any idea what the return rates are? I hear IBD Classic is cutthroat (1 in every 3 last year?), but I've heard differing but non-concrete things about AFG (such as how it's more 8/10...

no info about offer ... at all
My internship ended 5 weeks ago. My company told me we'd be hearing back about return offers within a week of the internship ending. It's been 5 weeks and I haven't heard anything. I've sent 3 emails to the recruiter and they've ghosted me every time. What do I do?

Could 2021-2022 be strong years for IB?
Could 2021-2022 be strong years for IB? My thinking is because right now there is continuous low deal flow for the next several months as the market is down and there is uncertainty over the coronavirus, owners who may want to sell are are waiting to see what happens. Next year, we'll know how much...

Delaying Graduation for Coding Bootcamp
Basically, got a return offer at a solid tech boutique in San Francisco, but I was expecting the New York office which is the only office I can work full time for personal reasons.

Hey Monkeys, I was reading a post a few days ago about getting a return offer at a BB and it got me thinking about how I can get a return offer at the boutique I'm going to be working at this summer. My account is new so I can't post the link to the original post, but the name of the original post...
FOLLOW-UP HELP: 2015 SA, haven't heard back about FT over two months later...?
Hello WSOers - First post on this site, forgive me if this is isn't in the right location. I was a summer analyst this year at a BB Asset Management / private banking shop (this was my summer after junior year, I'm now a senior). Unlike my IB counterparts, we do not get last-day offers and so we...
When do you get return offers?
I've searched threads on here, but I can't find anything explicitly saying. I'm getting ready to start researching for internships next summer. Most of the threads on here talk about how they haven't received offers and it's September. Is that the September of their senior year, right after their...
Treated like sh*t (on purpose?) during SA
tl;dr - got a return offer from SA stint. Was told by people in my group that they sometimes treated me like shit on purpose as a test. They spoke to me afterwards and, with wide smiles, asked me to return next year. Honestly, I was treated badly at times to the point where even if I did get an...

So, I've been working part-time in a pwm office at a BB . My boss said she wants to talk to me about next summer next week(I'm pretty sure I'm getting a return offer as I'm her favorite, always inviting me to events, etc.) She has a lot of connections in the industry and the BB is one of the best on...
