Sophomore-year spring for the following summer.
What it's actually like
Goldman remains the benchmark name in investment banking, and its summer analyst program is the main path to a full-time offer. Hours are long and the learning curve is steep, but the exit options into private equity, hedge funds and corporate finance are unmatched. Recruiting starts absurdly early — sophomores should already be networking.
Great for you if
- You want finance exit options
