Until you get caught and subsequently blacklisted from the major firms
You do need a certain skin-tone/look to pull it off though lol.
This is a cope because none of these people actually lied about their race. The ASU girl you're referencing absolutely deserves it. IU Kelley has more alumni in banking than target schools (and they're blood-bonded to the IBW lol). VTech is pretty small sample size and probably not the norm, but if you're saying GS should never have given them a look, that's one hell of a complex you got there.
Not saying it isn't OP because it does open doors to firms that previously weren't open, but these sophomore SA kids still deserve it and would have gotten a junior offer - they wouldn't have made it past the superday if they didn't.
fr these kids think that they deserve offers because they sit on WSO all day and actually believe that their school and technical prep automatically gives them an offer. Nobody wants to sit next to a kid like this on a desk every day and that’s why you aren’t getting offers OP. Also the fact you dug into this guarantees you wouldn’t have a social life regardless of where you went. Also idk about the other kids but the girl you mentioned is half black you fucking moron, not cool to make claims like that when they are false. Go to the banks themselves and tell them you don’t like diversity recruiting if you are so anti these kids taking advantage of it.
What a sad post. I’ve had encounters with a few of these kids through some programs and know for a fact that they are diverse. They worked incredibly hard and deserve what came their way. Not sure why you came on here to bitch in broken English
Diversity is not a thing… it’s a fugazi.
This honestly… made my day.
Out of the analyst class we have now, the top guy is a Yale grade, but the other top/upper bucket analysts are all state-school guys who are the perfect blend of: (1) humble, (2) intelligent, (3) social and (4) hard-working.
In no particular order those kids are: Indiana, Alabama, Florida, Ole Miss, and Fordham guys.
They are absolutely TROUNCING a few kids that went to Princeton and another that went to Penn. I truly don’t get it, honestly.
I’m starting to see a theme “why” these kids are good:
(1) We usually get the kids at these schools who (smartly) took scholarship money to go there and are currently crushing it from a GPA standpoint and are heavily involved in their hyper-specific investment banking clubs
(2) These kids, because they know what they want to do, have already done some sort of internship in banking or a field loosely related to it
(3) They have tangible skills and quite frankly have great attitudes. Asking them to update the buyer tracker or update the CIM for the 10th time isn’t an issue. They just grind, get a long with their teammates and carefully analyze their work
Surveying the MD floor - the breakout is about half and half on T-12 schools and others.
It’s still an advantage to go to those schools if you’re a hard worker, cool, and smart. You still have the “tie goes to the runner.”
But as far as being the leg-up you think it is, where you get the gig over a smart, cool state-school kid no matter what… yeah those days are pretty much over.
