What is the Best Time to Apply for 2024 IB Summer Analyst/ Analyst Programs?
The most sought after these roles from major investment banks have opened for internships and graduate positions. BlackRock is hiring 2024 Full-Time Analyst Program (APAC) and the 2024 Point72 Academy Investment Analyst Summer Internship Program opened as early as March 2023!
Meanwhile Morgan Stanley opened applications for its 2024 Institutional Equity Division Summer Analyst Program (Hong Kong / Singapore), and its 2024 Global Capital Markets Summer Analyst Program (Hong Kong) in June 2023.
This means the race is ON! But when would be the right time to apply for students targeting Summer Analyst roles across London, Hong Kong, and Singapore?
The timing for submitting your IB application is as crucial as understanding the recruitment process to increase your chances of getting the offer. Since most of these applications are on rolling basis, if you apply early, you’ll be interviewed earlier than most candidates. But the disadvantage is that you have no insights from other candidates’ interviews that you can rely on to prepare yourself better.
The best time to apply for these IB roles is between mid-July to July-end in our experience and based on the feedback from our students who received multiple offers across banking and investment banking roles.
So starting your preparation now will be VERY IMPORTANT to pitch yourself as the most desirable candidate. You’ll need to familiarise yourself with:
✅ Aptitude tests employed by different banks
✅ Different divisions that you can target within financial firms with same skills and CV experiences
✅ Interview questions across various roles and firms
✅ How to make your profile as competitive as students with more/ related internships or skills
