“It really started in 2015, we saw the timeline for financial services moving towards the fall of junior year, and then last summer we saw it move to the summer before junior year, and now suddenly we’re seeing it in the spring,” Dames said. “The silver lining of this situation is that this is a very good hiring market for students coming out of Yale.

二年级春天要申请3年级夏天的实习。那么1年级的夏天就需要有些东西了，如果啥finance经验都没有，怎么在竞争中脱颖而出？
所以1年级最晚冬天就要决定自己要不要做投行，准备1年级夏天搞些经验
