Many of this year’s graduates aiming to work in investment banking will already be well down the path to doing so. The usual way to get a finance job is to do an internship in the summer before you graduate, which will hopefully lead to a permanent offer. The best advice is to get your applications in early, as graduate programs and internship schemes often close early if they have already filled their quotas. But if you’ve left it late, there are still plenty of places which are still taking applications, particularly if you’re interested in technology and engineering posts. Here’s a list of the open programs at the top banks as of January 2022 – be quick, though, because they are closing all the time!
Goldman Sachs’ positions still open
The main Summer Analyst (ie, Internship) Program for EMEA closed in November 2021, but the Engineering Division’s internship program remains open until 30 January 2022. There are also “off-cycle” internships available, lasting three to twelve months with rolling deadlines in a variety of locations including London, Frankfurt, Paris and Dubai.
The New Analyst (ie, full time job) program is also closed, with Engineering open until the end of January. However, there are also off-cycle programmes for new analysts, and the Warsaw hub has its own program with a rolling deadline.
Morgan Stanley positions still open
The full time analyst program at Morgan Stanley is advertising a closing date of March 2022 for jobs in Frankfurt and Paris, but in London applications have closed. For MBA students, the Summer Associate internship program remains open with a deadline of January 24. There are also a number of off-cycle internships advertised in Real Estate, Structured Derivatives and Sales & Trading in a number of European financial centres.
