I never expected to revisit the topic of bulgebracket banks so quickly because the full list changes slowly, and we updated it a few years ago. What is a “BulgeBracket Bank”? The name “bulgebracket” (BB) comes from the prospectus for an IPO or debt issuance, which lists all the banks underwriting the deal.
Equity research recruiting tends to be less structured, though the bulgebracket banks and elite boutiques still run traditional processes that start over a year before summer internships. in a field like biology or biomechanical engineering, you could be a strong candidate for biotech equity research groups.
Admittedly, not all banks did this, and many bulgebracket firms will start in the normal time frame of January – March. Think: Engineering, math, statistics, or something with elements of all these, such as “management science” or “operations research.” bulgebrackets (well, except for RBC).
As I wrote in a recent update of the bulgebracket banks article , though, these points are less true today. Tech firms have caught up, and plenty of Product Manager and business/strategy roles pay quite generously; engineers also earn a lot more than they did 10-15 years ago. appeared first on Mergers & Inquisitions.

If you are making a “hard pivot” career change , such as engineering to investment banking, pre-MBA internships are very useful but not necessarily required.
PitchBookGPT could target large banks ( the bulgebrackets ) instead, as they are more willing to pay for training and productivity tools. for the engineers), while others are on the high side (sales & marketing), but nothing seems completely crazy.
