10 Best Investment Banking Internships for 2022

Investment banking is not only a high-paying career but also one of the most rewarding and best when it comes to skills development and growth. A career in banking exposes you to senior professionals, high-profile clients, the inner workings of various businesses and industries, and the ability to hone your presentation, communication, and analytical skills. Which is why banking is such a highly sought-after career path—and why we’re excited to release our 2022 ranking of the 10 Best Investment Banking Internships. The ranking is based on a survey of thousands of current and former interns from more 140 internship programs.

Last summer, we asked all investment banking interns who participated in our annual Internship Survey to rate their internship programs in six core areas: Career Development, Compensation and Benefits, Diversity, Full-Time Employment Prospects, Interview Process, and Quality of Life. Interns rated their internship programs’ efforts in these areas on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest and 1 being the lowest. Firsthand then averaged all the scores and ranked the programs accordingly.
