I’m looking for a career switch into S&T (Sales desk) and have been trying for almost a year now. I graduated 2.5 years ago at a target school. I work in Corp Dev and previously IB. I’m finding this to be extremely difficult and most experienced roles require extensive experience. Would it be a stretch to reach out to HR at firm’s hiring summer students and seeing if they’d consider me as an intern with the intention of staying full-time afterwards? That’s how bad I want it.

Your timeline is kind of weird, you graduated 2.5 years ago and after 1.5 years you tried for S&T, presumably while you were in IB at CIBC? Did you just try connecting with HR or did you try to find people at the S&T desk within CIBC?

I wouldn’t bother with HR at banks, (respectfully) they’re useless. LinkedIn message people, specifically associates/juniors in S&T and see what the quals are.

My intuition is that the networks want to call all three to provide extra margin for error given the stakes and fine margins.
