You will have the opportunity hone your skills and apply what you’ve learned with a meaningful project and weekly trading challenges. Throughout the summer, you will receive comprehensive support from dedicated internship trainers, and mentors to guide you in your work and professional development. In our collaborative office environment, you will build a valuable network of IMC traders, researchers, analysts, and engineers. You will benefit from a highly competitive compensation package, fully-furnished corporate accommodation, catered meals, and experience IMC’s collaborative culture as if you’re already a full-time employee. Where you go from here is up to you!

  • Work on tooling, functionality, and/or visibility for specific use cases
  • Hone your trading skills by working on a relevant project, shadowing different trading desks, and participating in competitive simulated trading sessions
  • Attend workshops, presentations, trainings, and social activities alongside the full internship cohort

YOUR SKILLS AND EXPERIENCES

  • You want to make an impact on meaningful and challenging projects

To be able to take part in IMC’s internship programme, you will need to obtain the required visa and/or permit to enter, stay and work in the Netherlands. Depending on your nationality and country of residence, obtaining the required entry visa may be subject to additional requirements, processing delays or other limitations. Please note that if you need a Schengen visa and are unable to obtain it before the start of the internship, you will be unable to take part in IMC’s internship programme. We greatly appreciate your understanding and hope to consider you for future opportunities.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
