Bloomberg Internship

Hey guys,

I haven't been successful in securing an investment banking (IBD) internship for this summer. I still aim to eventually get into IBD. At the moment I'm considering applying for the Bloomberg Financial Sales summer internship. Say if I were to apply for full time roles in investment banks later this year how would this internship experience look to the ibanks? Bear in mind that I've already done an internship in investment banking (last summer). Would I be better off just going travelling or volunteering this summer? I don't want it to look like that I'm not committed to a career in investment banking (I'm worried this is the impression banks will get if I intern somewhere like Bloomberg).

Cheers,

While it's great that you got those offers, it's a bit silly on your part to compare the previous experience required for spring programs (none) with that required for those going into grad recruitment.

Your statement was based on your success in spring applications though, which as I said earlier, was a silly comparison to make. With the potential number of people with summer internships in investment banks also going through the grad scheme with the OP next year, I don't think you're in a position to comment on how banks view a bloomberg internship based on your spring week success.

I received 5 spring offers, but my only previous work experience was working in Tesco. QED

This said, Bloomberg internships are still pretty competitive, so there's no guarantee you'll get one. In fact, they may even see through your plan of using it for the CV as opposed to actually wantin a grad job there...

I'm pretty sure they won't hold it against you.

I mean having your former sales interns going to work for your major customers ? - that's a gift-horse. Bloomberg probably makes more profits from it's former interns who now work for banks than from the interns it hires as grads.

Hey KK89, what department did you work in for your internship?
I went for the assessment day & I now have a second interview coming up, any info on what they ask and what the format is? Apparently it's a 30-40 minute interview. It's for a sales/installations summer internship. Any info would be much appreciated! Cheers

any tips for a bloomberg Global data interview?

Do Bloomberg let first years undertake an internship?
Just with Jibzy asking and the fact that many of you have completed an internship at Bloomberg and have then moved on. Or are you all Msc students?

Financial data processing?
