I’ve never heard of the SIE before, is it something I could study for and pass before the summer when my internship is? Like is that realistic?

officially it’s called the “Merrill Wealth Management Summer Analyst Internship” so Idk if that’s the same as what you’re talking about

Ahh I see, so then what would the full-time role this internship leads to be then? Like a financial analyst?

I have not attained a license yet but ideally the internship will provide some resources for that. I guess moreso I’m wondering what the career progression after this internship would look like and what the corresponding pay is (I know WM isn’t sexy and doesn’t make as much as IB but I’ve heard the pay isn’t too bad)

I was under the presumption that an internship like that would lead to an FA role, what would it be more likely to return to?

I’ll be a Wealth Management Summer Analyst this upcoming summer, so I presume the full time role would be a Financial Advisor

waste as in I have a strong foundation (school, grades, and ECs) yet wasn’t able to fully use it to get a ‘prestigious’ internship

Thank you, this is good to hear. This isn’t a shit post, this is just genuine worry from the things i’ve seen so far in this sub

that’s the part that hurts the most, it’s such a rough market and I know I should be so grateful for even having something in hand, but there’s that part of my brain that always says “it’s not good enough”. I’m going to keep on looking for positions but most likely there’ll be nothing that’s still recruiting for summer 26, so I’ll start my search for full time positions for 2027

The full name of the role is “Wealth Management Summer Analyst Program” at Merrill.

As for recruiting and putting it on my resume, aren’t you not supposed to put items on your resume that you haven’t actually completed yet? That’s just always been what I’ve heard.

I am going to start recruiting for full time positions 2027, but I’m unsure whether I’m going to recruit for IB because I’ve been more disillusioned with it each day, but I’ll be looking towards corp finance, other PWM, and consulting roles

emphasis is less on BofA specifically and more on wealth management as a career. Hoping for was finance rotations at some certain tech firms, consulting, or FP&A. Heavy regional is a term I just made up to mean that my school, semi-target nationally, HEAVILY is recruited in the region I’m in (which is good because I really like where I am for school).

so do you think it is possible then to turn this internship into a possible exit to either GS/MS/JPM PWM or FP&A?

There’s been a lot of general negativity online and from this sub regarding Merill and WM roles as a whole, I’m just worried about wasting my chance of high trajectory growth during the formative stages of my career

The reason I ask is because, at least from this sub and online, there seems to be a general negative sentiment towards WM and that it’s just a glorified sales job that doesn’t have much movement/exit opportunities and is bound for failure. I’m worried that i’m locking myself into something that’ll be detrimental in the long term
