Use our reporting to give you an edge.</li></ul><p>Today's Wall Street interns could turn out to be tomorrow's managing directors.</p><p>Even if that's a bit of a stretch, it's true that summer internships at leading financial-services firms are a tried-and-true gateway to full time employment at investment banks, private-equity firms, and hedge funds. They pay well, too, with many interns at both bulge-bracket and boutique banks earning a prorated summer salary on a scale that's upwards of $100,000.</p><p>As you might imagine, actually landing one of these internships is notoriously competitive. The biggest US banks can receive hundreds of thousands of applications for a relatively small number of roles each summer — meaning they can be tougher to crack than landing a spot at an Ivy League university.</p><p>Take Goldman Sachs, for instance, which accepted just 1.5% of candidates into its 2022 summer internship class out of <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/goldman-sachs-receives-record-236000-internship-applications-despite-burnout-reports-2022-4">more than 236,000 applications</a> worldwide, according to a person with knowledge of the bank's recruiting efforts.</p><p>So how do you become one of the lucky few to receive such an offer? Experts say that a sense of ambition, the willingness to hustle, and investing plenty of time into preparation are all crucial.</p><p>Insider's comprehensive reporting includes more than a dozen stories on everything from what interns do, to how to nail your interviews, to the types of prep questions to expect when you meet with managing directors or HR.</p><p>Check out our robust Wall Street internship coverage here — and, if you're in the running for an internship for next summer, get in touch with this reporter to share your story.</p><p><strong>Insider's Wall Street reporter Reed Alexander can be reached via email at </strong><strong>ralexander@insider.com</strong><strong>, or SMS/the encrypted app Signal at (561) 247-5758.</strong></p><h2><strong>Interview advice from top bankers</strong></h2><h2><div type="image" title="Alexandra Soto of Lazard, Claire O'Connor of Barclays" height="802" width="1069" msid="91471763" hostid="261"></div></h2><p>After two years of mostly virtual recruiting, Wall Street's hunger games are back — and this time, they're taking place largely in person.</p><p>Claire O'Connor, a managing director and head of loan capital markets and acquisition <keyword id="11895316" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="finance" source="Orion">finance</keyword> at Barclays in New York, says that the return to in-person recruiting is generally a good thing.
