How do Spring Week Converts perform in internships relative to other interns?

Just something I’ve always been curios about. For reference, Spring Weeks are really short introductory insight programmes you can do in your first year of university in the Europe that has a chance of being converted to a summer analyst role the next year. The interviews are very non-technical and are exponentially easier to get and convert than getting a summer organically.

For those who work in banks in London or have interned there etc, what would you say? Do Spring Week converts perform better, worse or about the same as the other interns?

This isn’t some self-rating type of thing, genuinely just curiosity to see the tendencies that we can gather from this question

 

Would you say that there was a substantive difference in conversion rates? Obviously a bit overeager to think you may know even have picked up on this but worth asking.

 

Did Springs at BB and EB. Less 'diversity hiring' at both the ones I did but for sure there were some diversity hires at other places were my friends especially those who kept hammering home the female % as you mentioned

 

Springs are a mixed bag and are suprisingly hard to get. Top candidates can get 4+ offers, making it very hard for the average candidate to get an offer, especially if non diversity. Springs also take a lot of people from “non traditional backgrounds” (Bame + female + non targets)Essentially, the top candidates tend to convert all the way through, from spring to FT and the “non traditional candidates” have lower conversion rates.
