1Y M7 MBA student, have landed a buy-side role for the summer, but thinking about recruiting for IB full-time roles as my internship isn’t yet sure they’ll be hiring for FT. Any thoughts / comments / insights on the experience?

Do it. De risk where you can

Very little second year recruiting in IB, especially now. Just commit to the buy side

This. Second year recruiting has dwindled A LOT since the highs of 2021. Won’t hurt to try but will be very difficult (first question would be: is this just your backup plan since PE didn’t work out and people will view you as a flight risk (in the near term think 6-12 months) as soon as you can go back to PE).

Although the team has asked me to invest some time in learning Java but I’m skeptical about all of this as the position is Data Engineer II so not sure how the expectations will change. Even if I invest time in learning Java I can be at a beginner level.
