Breaking into investment banking from Columbia University
Compare summer analyst internships and full-time analyst openings separately. Eligibility and application timing depend on the employer, office, and program.
- Check the current employer posting for the program year, graduation requirements, and location.
- Record the stated deadline and check whether the employer describes rolling review.
- Track assessments and interviews separately from networking conversations.
Research the team, ask relevant professionals about their experience, and apply through the official process. Networking can inform your preparation but does not guarantee an interview.
