Raymond James Summer Analyst Internship

Raymond James runs a 10-week Investment Banking Summer Analyst Program from June to August, paying $1,825 per week (about $94,900 annualized) plus a $4,000 housing stipend, with roughly 68-78% of interns converting to full-time offers. Interns participate in formal training covering financial modeling, valuation, and professional development before being placed into industry groups where they contribute to live deal work. The program includes regular social events, networking sessions, and community involvement opportunities that reflect the firm's values-driven culture. Class sizes are manageable, creating a cohort experience while allowing individual attention from mentors and team members. Raymond James assigns formal mentors and provides structured feedback at multiple points during the program. The St. Petersburg location provides a unique summer experience: warm weather, lower cost of living, and a more relaxed atmosphere outside of work hours compared to New York-based programs. Interns benefit from the firm's integrated platform, gaining exposure to how investment banking, wealth management, and capital markets interact within a diversified financial services firm. The culture during the internship is professional but warm, with senior bankers who are genuinely accessible and invested in intern development. For candidates seeking a middle market banking experience with strong mentorship, meaningful deal exposure, and a culture that values long-term development, Raymond James' internship is a strong fit.
