Our SMBC Meet and Greet Series is for all students seeking a 2023 internship or full-time analyst opportunity with our firm. Each session will consist of overviews of the various groups that hire into our programs led by the business members themselves followed by an open-forum Q&A session. Since each session will be different, students are encouraged to attend as many as they like.
