Hi WSO Community- greatly appreciate some thoughts on my situation. My MD has asked me to leave with him to start his own firm. What's everyone's thoughts? Background: I'm a second year analyst at a specialty boutique.
I came to the firm as a mid-career professional after having a background in consulting, tech and a variety of other companies. I now lead a team of 15 people, I'm making more money t….
Fwiw, I'm a junior banker. I know I am seeing a lot of back-and-forth on this topic, but I really need to push back and raise some red flags here.
Having an on-site office presence foundational to our ability to drive efficiencies in a corporate landscape. It's in our DNA. Sure, there is no 'one size fits all' or silver bull…. I want to read the whole story. Do you think I have a decent chance with my background, given the fact that I go to a small school in Iowa? Also, I am traveling 4 hours to attend a networking event hosted by JPM in couple of weeks time, do you think mentioning that I traveled nearly 4 hours to be at the event would be worth telling?
Good on you for traveling 4 hours though! I have an MBA 3. Should I highlight my military experience, education, civilian finance experience, etc? Do I even stand a chance against Ivy-league grads? Any suggested firms in the Atlanta area? Hi, I just got out of High School with a 3. I got accepted into UC Berkeley Haas. I am currently a sophomore looking to get into investment banking.
Please only post the same question once on our website. I was at BarCap internship superday on 19th Jan. I applied to HK office first but due to personal reasons I told them I would want to change to Singapore. On that day, I interviewed fine but did not receive any call all the 8 interviewers were from HK office. Yesterday I received a phone interview from an MD at Singapore office. I felt I interviewed fine. Wait for a few days. I just turned 26 and have 2 years of retail banking experience, which I imagine is looked upon as lowly by all the other divisions of banking.
I could be wrong, of course. I am a personal banker, which at my company is a very intense sales position. I have been taking night classes to get my MS in Finance from Kelley in Indiana and will graduate in a few months.
My options are to leverage the degree to get into IB or IM or something similarly hardcore, or stick it out in this position and hope they promote me eventually. I imagine if I chose the latter option I would only see the benefit of the grad degree after decades, if ever. But I could be wrong. If I stick it out in retail banking, my options are to become a business banker, financial advisor, mortgage loan officer, or branch manager.
I may also be able to go be a private banker in our PWM division, though competition is fierce. Is my current career path a trap? Should I jump ship and go to wall street because things are that much better? I think you are thinking a bit too much.
Once you actually get an offer elsewhere you can think more about the above. Just received a rejection email for a MM Boutique, just going over the reasons why I got rejected, they said they are not looking for any interns at the moment, I did break one of your rules and say I would intern for free — slightly frustrated with the lack of responses from other banks, but they got back to me straight away and one of the partners i emailed referred me to one of the other partners in the firm so he may like what I sent.
Is it worth asking what time of year they are looking for interns? If no reply do you recommend emailing them in a month or so asking again? Would you suggest emailing them asking if they know any MM firms in the area that maybe hiring interns? Sure 3. Yes 4. I am in 9th grade.
It looks like for the first semester, my GPA will be around 3. If I want to become a banker, will this GPA ruin my chances. Do I need to aim for a higher GPA next semester?
With modern barriers ever so much higher, and hypotheticals a regular part of the process, why should Presidential debates be different? This is true, particularly, where once elected, they do none of the things promised; testing leadership skills under stress has always been a favored debate format. I was recently playing poker at a casino and met a VP of a boutique at my table. I had a hard time deciding whether to take chips from him or to lose on purpose.
But, anyways I was able to get his business card. I was wondering if I should still email him a cover letter along with my resume, although I got acquainted with him in person. Just a word of advice for people that did not get accepted to any formal summer training positions, like myself I had a bad GPA, but solid work experience. I was lucky to get a Spring internship at a well-known boutique, it was unpaid but I decided to stick with it since it was better than doing nothing.
My work ethic carried me a long way to where I am right now. Eventually, my manager realized that my skills could be used better in asset management, a separate division within the company. He took a big risk referring me to a separate office where I could have destroyed his credibility if I screwed up. My Spring internship was set to expire in May but the day before I was about to leave, they called me in. The firm decided to employ me part-time paid during the summer and will continue up until my graduation date.
After graduation, they will have a nice compensation package for me. This was such a wild turn of unexpected events, but if you work hard, people notice and it will come back to you.
You can do the same if you believe in yourself and your abilities. If you walk into an interview remember, you are a nub. Be humble. Hello I am currently a soon to be junior in college but did very poorly in my first year and a half of college. It was a result of my focus on becoming a professional soccer player which I managed to do but was deterred from after I ran into many ethically conflicting decisions.
I have now improved to a 4. With a major in accounting and economics minor in finance, and currently president of a small company and an investment club, what kind of chances can I expect of earning an internship to help me break into investment banking? Wanted to ask two smalls questions. I just started University in St. Gallen one of the best for german speakers and had some good grades for the 1st semester.
My CV is solid, some banking experience in small bank. Have seen there are still some BB recruiting for those loved summer internships and was wondering if, as a starter, I had any chance to get to an interview or if being in the penultimate year is a must? And last question, do you think foreign people applications are truly considered or is it negative to apply for another country for summer internships?
Just wondering, but have you ever scanned through resumes from NYU Stern undergraduates? Based on your experiences is NYU Stern a target or a semi-target school?
Furthermore, resumes from Stern will mostly be composed of finance and more finance experience. How would one stand out from other students all aiming for similar internships? I wanted to know if it is proper or annoying for me to e-mail the people who interviewed me and ask them for feedback on how well I did on the interview after I got rejected.
Last week, I actually someone at a BB reached out to me it was pretty much like an interview. At the end of our conversation he told me that the process would be moving quickly and that he would get someone else in the office to reach out to me this week. A week later, there was still no response, so I emailed an alum I know within the BB for help.
He told me that he would check to see what the firm was up to, and later told me to wait. That was around 3 days ago, and I still have had no response from the firm. My question is what factors might have prevented me from getting first-round invites not following up enough? I thought first-round invites were mostly based on resume but was wondering what advice you might have. That sounds really strange because those boutiques are just as selective as large banks.
Might just be completely random, or it might be not enough networking with the people in the offices you applied to. I would just go for one of the boutiques and then try again for BBs in the fall recruiting season. Thanks for your advice. Hi Brian, Would like to know your opinion why there are high levels of entry to banking?
So many people want to break in that they can demand insane qualifications, just like medicine. I go to the Nr.
Goldman Sachs offers me interviews for 2 different divisions, even though my resume had an embarrassing typo in it. Also I have never worked in banking before, i interned in the finance department of a big company and in a consulting firm. Still I found it interesting, that compared to other applications, the banks seem to invite me the most. An associate at MS just recently referred me for a couple of grad positions at MS.
Do employee referrals help in getting an interview at all? I actually spent the last two years representing the US as a dancer and running an independent business-some people take gap year, I decided to run a business…what can I say? Yes employee referrals help. I already had my contacts at some BBs forward my resume to whoever is in charge like weeks ago.
Is it safe to assume that those firms are off my list now? HR actually contacted me and we talked over the phone about the process. I was told to apply online as well. I followed up later and was told by HR that they will be in touch if they decide to go ahead with my application. What do you think? Sigh, getting an interview is so hard for non-targets. I would still reach out to your contact soon and ask directly what the story is and whether or not recruiting is over.
Everything you have said is so, so true about networking, following up, and general standards for composing oneself.
