Trying to land an IB internship in the US from Oxford is very challenging due to the timing of their academic terms. In 1st & 2nd years, my son didn’t finished exams until the last week of June and wasn’t able to start an internship in the US until the first week of July. He lost out on a number of IB internships last year because that didn’t sync up with the normal IB summer analyst schedule. He ended up at a London firm that was used to the Oxford timing. And that’s with me having worked on the street for 30+ years and having a decent rolodex of people to call on for assistance. He managed to land a great one for this summer in NYC but they were on the fence about a June 15th start date.
