This section includes graduate jobs and financial internships for recent graduates and undergraduates across all areas of investment banking and financial services, including fixed income, equities, trading, sales, corporate finance and M&A, and hedge funds.
Junior trainee positions, which are referred to as "analyst" jobs, are available to graduates in investment banks and financial services institutions after they have completed a first degree, a Masters or a PhD. Graduates beginning a career in banking and finance are typically known as 'analysts.'
Internships are becoming an increasingly common way for students to gain experience in the sector, and in many cases, financial services firms and investment banks expect students who want to work for them in a financial career to complete an internship before they join. These can be part of a student's university course and come in several formats. They are often summer internships, which typically take place over a 10 or 12 week period during the summer months of a student's second year. At European banks, however, it is common for students to participate in far longer financial internships lasting for many months or even years. Equally, week-long investment banking internships for first year university students are becoming more popular, with the intention of giving students a short introduction to the industry. Finally, for students who are unwilling or unable to undertake a summer internship, many banks are now offering a winter internship option as well. However, the summer internship remains the main route into the sector.
The best interns in financial services firms and investment banks often go on to get a full time offer of employment for a graduate position, usually to start the following year after graduation. Successful interns return to join financial graduate training schemes which usually include both an element of classroom-based training and training on the job, with the latter often including rotations between different job functions so that students gain a fuller understanding of how the business works.
Investment banks are notoriously demanding when it comes to graduate and intern recruitment. They typically select university students with very strong academic qualifications and an ability to articulate precisely why they want to work in the industry. Students who are not successful in gaining an internship and then a job offer before they graduate may still be able to find a graduate role, but the process becomes much harder as competition is high: many graduate finance jobs are filled by the previous year's interns.
This section includes both financial graduate jobs and internships related to financial services firms' investment banks' formal graduate training programmes and any graduate jobs and internships that appear on an ad hoc basis.
