Have you done either of these type of roles before?

V1 - based on my experience, the reason it’s difficult is typically a client agrees to a set of deliverables (usually features) for your SOW. In the practice, with lean principles, you often don’t know what you’re building that far in advance. So you’re heading toward a fixed delivery milestone for a set of features or product that more than likely has not yet been validated by users. It take a lot of training/sales for the client to be willing to accept that variability on what they’re paying for. The idea in agile is you punt on what doesn’t fit in a sprint, but for consulting, you still need to deliver at the end.

Hi, where or what types of companies should sophomores & juniors apply for next summer (2022) to recruit for IB the following summer (2023)? This summer BBs wrapped up SA IB recruitment, EBs even earlier, and a fair amount of my friends missed out big time.

Also, if a sophomore or junior doesn’t get a finance-related summer internship (I.e tech) and aims for an IB SA or FT position, is it harder to break in?

Appreciate any advice and insight, thank you.
