Program Description: The Strategic Advisory group consists of one of the most experienced investment banking teams in the industry, and has been involved in some of the largest, most complex transactions of the past twenty years. Our global team focuses on a diverse set of industries, including financial institutions, healthcare, industrials, energy, power & utilities, real estate, and technology, media & telecommunications. Our 10-week internship begins with an accelerated M&A training program, which is supplemented with additional training modules throughout the remainder of the internship program. Upon completion of training, Summer Analysts will have the opportunity to participate in all aspects of pitches and live transactions while being staffed on a number of assignments at once. The Advisory team in San Francisco is focused exclusively on the technology sector. Due to the relatively small size of the professional staff, a Summer Analyst will assume an integral role on his or her deal teams, often working directly with senior level bankers. The internship program will provide Summer Analysts with ongoing formal and informal training, in addition to high-touch mentorship across all levels.
