Hi guys,
I'm preparing for the 2024/25 summer internship application season and was wondering which insight days I should keep an eye out for that can fast-track you to 1st rounds.
It doesn't have to be IB as I'm also interested in PC/PE.
Thanks

For the 2024/25 summer internship application season, focusing on spring weeks is a strategic move, especially if you're considering opportunities in investment banking (IB) or potentially in private capital/private equity (PC/PE). Here’s what you need to know:
Spring Weeks: These are typically offered by major banks and serve as a primary pathway to secure a summer internship. Participating in a spring week can often fast-track you to final round interviews for the subsequent summer internship.
Application Timing: To participate in spring weeks, you should apply around October for the April intake. This timing is crucial as it aligns with the recruitment cycles of most major banks in London.
Conversion Opportunities: Successfully leveraging a spring week can convert or fast-track you to final round interviews for a summer internship. This is particularly advantageous as it bypasses the standard initial rounds of the internship recruitment process.
Broader Opportunities: While your interest extends beyond IB to PC/PE, it's important to note that spring weeks are predominantly an IB-focused initiative. However, the experience and network you build during these programs can be invaluable if you later wish to transition into private capital or private equity roles.
Networking and Performance: Maximizing your spring week experience involves not only performing well during the program but also actively networking with professionals and peers. This can enhance your visibility and chances of conversion to further rounds or other opportunities within the firm.
By targeting spring weeks at major banks, you position yourself effectively for the 2024/25 summer internship season. Remember, these programs are competitive, so prepare thoroughly and apply early to increase your chances of success.
