Julius Baer

Julius Baer runs its graduate selection as a four-stage process: a CV screening reviewed on a rolling basis, a pre-recorded video interview, a virtual first-round interview, and a physical second-round interview built around a case study. The firm notes that the process for graduate roles at its international locations can differ from the standard Swiss one. Because CVs are read on a rolling basis rather than against a single deadline, the earliest complete applications reach a recruiter first, and a candidate who clears every stage is committing to a loop that runs across several weeks of spring before an offer.

Julius Baer's early-career hiring runs through a graduate programme and a set of student tracks:

• Graduate Programme – three assignments across 18 months, one of which can be spent at an international location, starting each October, open across three study profiles: finance and banking; business, management and law; and data science and IT.
• Summer internship – roughly 10 weeks starting in July (the 2026 cohort ran 1 July to 4 September), placed across units such as Wealth Planning, IT, Legal, Compliance and HR.
• Off-cycle internships and working-student positions – duration and start date set by the individual role rather than a fixed intake.

The graduate programme is pitched at recent postgraduates while the internships sit with students still enrolled, so the two rarely compete for the same applicant: the choice is which stage of study you are at, not which programme is stronger.

Julius Baer expects early-career applicants to arrive with their own right to work: its careers FAQ states that you must "hold a valid work permit for the country you are applying for or are authorised to work in your preferred country." The firm does not advertise general visa sponsorship for graduate or internship applications, and independent listings of its roles carry the same requirement. That makes work authorisation a gate rather than something the application resolves: a candidate without an existing permit for a given country cannot rely on the role to secure one, so where you can already work narrows which of the firm's locations are realistically open to you.

Julius Baer structures its graduate programme as three assignments across 18 months, one of which can be spent at an international location, and aims it at postgraduates – typically master's or PhD holders with up to two to three years of work experience – rather than first-degree leavers. The firm is also a pure-play wealth manager with no investment-banking or retail division, so every early-career track sits inside private banking; it is the largest pure-play private bank by assets under management, at roughly CHF 520 billion as of October 2025. For a candidate who wants depth in wealth management specifically, or who is already a postgraduate, that focus is a more precise fit than a generalist bank's rotation – and a clearer reason to spend one of a limited number of applications here.
