Investment Banking Internship Timeline

📣 Attention all students exploring investment banking!

If you're interested in investment banking, now is the time to begin preparing for recruitment.

Sophomores typically begin recruiting 1.5 years in advance for their junior summer investment banking internships. Last year, applications opened in January, but this cycle could start as early as December.

Why Investment Banking?

Investment banking is one of the most sought-after and competitive industries for good reason. Securing an internship and excelling as a summer analyst can lead to a full-time return offer, potentially setting you up to earn between $150,000 and $200,000 in your first year out of school 💰️.

Stand Out From The Crowd

With thousands of students competing for these roles, it’s critical to differentiate yourself to recruiters. StepStone’s free Investment Banking M&A Simulation, led by seasoned ex-Investment Bankers, offers an immersive experience in financial modeling and valuation—essential skills for standing out during recruitment, no prior experience necessary.

Investment Banking M&A Simulation

StepStone’s Investment Banking M&A Simulation is here to help. Our live, virtual simulation is led by industry professionals and offers hands-on experience in financial modeling and valuation exercises. This will give you a taste of what an investment banking analyst does on the job.

After completing the simulation, you’ll earn an official certificate to post on your LinkedIn and relevant experience to put on your resume to discuss in interviews.

Looking forward to seeing you there! ✨
