The Investment Banking Analyst role

Centerview recruits summer interns from college juniors and full-time analysts after graduation, formally on some campuses and informally from a broad range of schools, with no finance background required. New analysts get initial training in practical finance, then join deal teams on the firm’s mega-cap M&A mandates. The firm says it invests extra resources to keep analysts longer than a typical two-year stint.

Class size and group placement are not published; the careers page describes initial training in ‘practical finance’ before analysts join deal teams and pitches a program ‘head-and-shoulders above traditional two-year programs’, which third-party guides describe as three years.

Worth knowing: Centerview’s careers page says it was voted the #1 bank to work for in Vault’s survey seven years in a row — and its analyst pay ($130k base plus a reported $50k signing bonus tied to a three-year commitment) is the richest first-year package on the street by most accounts.
