TOP INVESTMENT BANKS IN THE UK IB Internships: Easier to get in London

Transcript

If US investment banking recruiting isn't working out for you, you should be applying in London. There's a later timeline, it's way more rolling and it's nowhere near as networking the US. When I was back in college, I was applying to London and Dubai roles just for fun. You toss in a resume if your stats actually make sense because, and it's rolling, applying actually does something for you. That's not true of most of the US processes. Also your US reads, it stands out the pack versus all the UK schools. So roll the dice, it'll take an hour of your life and cost you nothing. And of course, follow me for more recruiting tips.
