Titles are not monolithic...

Depending on the firm, SM could be the same level, higher, or lower than AD.

depends on the company and what the expectations are. they’re more or less the same but at big 4 a SM has sales goals - i currently do not at my company. so that would increase the stress in my opinion, to worry about a sales number on top of client work and managing teams etc.

How do you keep up/in touch with your network?

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.
