Centerview Partners Summer Analyst Internship

Centerview's Summer Analyst Program is the most exclusive internship in investment banking, hosting only 10-20 interns for a 10-week experience that mirrors the intensity and deal exposure of the full-time role. Interns earn the highest compensation on the Street, approximately $2,210-$2,310 per week ($115K-$120K annualized) with housing stipends. The ultra-small class size is not a limitation but a feature: interns work directly with founding partners and senior MDs on active M&A advisory mandates, gaining a level of deal exposure and senior interaction that is physically impossible at larger programs. From the first week, interns are expected to build models, analyze deal structures, and contribute to client deliverables at the level of a first-year analyst. The conversion rate is exceptionally high, approximately 85-90%, reflecting both the rigor of the selection process and the firm's desire to build its analyst class from its intern pipeline. Centerview evaluates interns on raw analytical ability, composure under pressure, and the capacity to operate at the highest level of advisory banking. The recruiting process is hyper-selective: applications go through extensive screening, and Superdays feature the technically demanding interviews for which the firm is known. There is no mid-summer review in the traditional sense; at a firm this small, feedback is continuous and real-time. Partners know each intern personally. For candidates who want the most challenging, rewarding, and career-accelerating internship in banking, Centerview is the definitive choice. Every summer analyst is expected to perform at the level of a full-time hire, and the best ones emerge with skills, relationships, and deal experience that take years to accumulate elsewhere.
