I'm applying to their Global Technology Rotation Program (or whatever the current name is) and I genuinely can't tell how selective it is. My university doesn't have a ton of State Street alumni so I'm flying blind.
My background is CS with a finance minor, decent GPA, one fintech internship. Would that be competitive? I'm also not sure whether to position myself as a finance person who codes or a CS person who knows finance. Any sense of what they actually want from rotational candidates?
Also, does anyone know if the rotational roles are mostly Boston or do they place people in other offices too?

fintech internship + CS + finance minor is honestly a pretty strong combo for a rotational program at a custodian bank. they want people who won't be confused when someone says T+2 settlement. lean into the finance knowledge in your cover letter, CS skills are table stakes.

i did a different rotational at a similar institution a few years back. the rotational programs at these places are genuinely good for getting exposure. you rotate through different business areas, so you'll work in custody ops, data, maybe trading tech. Boston-heavy but they do have Kraków and Dublin tracks too from what i've seen.
