NY IBD - What are my chances?
Hi all, first time poster
I'm at a semi-target US school looking to break through to IBD. So far, no luck. My GPA is 4.0 and I have had some interviews at MM firms like EC,L,GH and R. The BBs and Cdn B5 (RBC, BMO, etc.) have not been easy although i have networked a lot. My previous exp is as a SA at a BB in GER in a PWM div, which i got through a job in BO of a MM in FR mainly working the phones etc.
Ideas? I would really appreciate any feedback - plz PM me or rspnd to this pst.
If you've managed to get that many interviews, you just suck at interviewing. Work on that.
chill with the acronyms
sry about that, was my first post and I was trying to emulate the general style of some of the other users
thanks for the advice - I thought lazard was gaining steam but maybe I was wrong
Use less acronyms
Are you sure you go to a "semi target?" a 4.0 in a decent major should get you BB interviews at least. If not, work on your resume. Seems like you are getting some interviews but cant finish. Prep better
Perhaps you interview similarly to the way you post on internet forums
yea i have a BB IN GER of PWM but no MM FR brb but i like EC AND R GL
^OP, stop with the acronyms. Seriously. Maybe it's becasue you talk like this in interviews that you're not closing
define semi-target
also, if L and GH stand for Lazard and Greenhill, I wouldn't classify those as MMs, those are arguably better than many BBs.
anyways, it seems your problem is that you aren't interviewing well and the economy has made it more difficult to get these jobs. (if you were graduating in 2005 you'd be golden)
Lazard is middle market... infact their mm website is lazardMM.com so is greenhill but jus because they are MM doesn't mean they are "beneath" BBs
lazard is NOT middle market. lazard middle market (a subsidiary) is middle market. i think it was originally goldsmith agio helms or somethin (which lazard acquired)
stop using those acronyms. i hope u don't throw up those letters along with gang signs in your interviews when they ask where elsey ou're interviewing.
I really think people need to interview with like 5 crappy places before they start doing IB interviews. Start setting up Northwestern Mutual stuff so you can go in and throw shit against the wall, get comfortable, have the story down. How horrible is it to basically waste interviews when it counts.
lazard is a middle market firm, it's lazard middle market in the actual name. how are people so stupid?
you so stupid
there is lazard
and there is lazard middle market, a lazard subsidiary
lazard is not middle market, and you very stupid
uhh lol go to this site http://www.lazardmm.com/
it says lazard middle market in its actual name, its a MIDDLE MARKET investment bank. or are you so retarded that you think a company with MIDDLE MARKET in its actual name isnt middle market lol
let us hope so either way, he should be banished for such idiocy.
yea it used to be named lazard freres, then it merged with goldsmith agio helms and the company is called LAZARD MIDDLE MARKET. its a fucking middle market company
lol my bad didn't see that
thanks for learning me something lol
lazard middle market vs lazard .. whod thunk lol
