First piece of advice - never use “Tryna” again. I am trying to not wince at that new word.

Wasn’t asking you...

^ ouch...please prove this partner wrong, OP. I just hope you’re young enough to jump from tax to s&o/management consulting. You’d need to go to a top 10 mba program or get into a diff group (not tax or audit) and network your way in. Both not easy things but if you really want it, you can do it!

EY2 - it is not a questions of age, I prefer sniglets to bad contractions or poor grammar brought about by (tryna) make things fit in 280 characters or texts. But tryna, like gonna, doesn’t make you sound young. it just makes you sound uneducated. In this profession, fine to be young, hip and cool, but you need to at least sound and appear educated.

OP - LOL! continuing to prove my point about you appearing uneducated. You are not cut out for tax. You are likely being forced out

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.
