3.7 GPA, 730 GMAT, prop trading exp., Ambitious
Hello All, I'm new to WSO. Some phenomenal info on the forums. I'm a May 2013 grad with a 3.7 GPA and 730 gmat score seeking any opportunity in equity research. I'm completely open to an internship or project based work (despite holding a full-time job in Credit) to prove my abilities and get my foot in the door.
- I traded full-time during my senior year on a desk in Short Hills, NJ - took classes in the evening
- currently working as a credit analyst at a bank in North Jersey - hate it. my passion is in equities and there is no intensity/sense of urgency/idea generation process in credit
Any advice would be much appreciated!
Welcome!

New to WSO, a lot of great input thus far. I graduated from a non-target school in the NYC Metro area in May 2013 with a 3.7. Scored a 730 on the GMAT. I can't seem to land a role as an Investment Analyst or in Equity Research. I traded full-time on a desk in Short Hills, NJ during my senior year to immerse myself in the mkt. Simply need an opportunity to prove my worth. Any input is helpful... I haven't done much networking and I'm currently working as a Credit Analyst at a bank in north jersey (hate it. slow-paced, no intensity or excitement)
