I was thinking about applying for IB/market roles within banks, but it is quite common for these banks to offer their graduate roles straight to interns, making it quite difficult to be successful for a direct graduate role. Also, a lot of these banks state that internships are for students in their first/second year of university, but having graduated June 2023, can I still apply to these internships? I know some places ask you this question in the application process and immediately reject your application if you have already graduated. Anyone know how strict these firms are with this rule and/or know if anyone has gotten through to an internship despite having already graduated?
