Looks like no 2025 offer for S&T, coming to the end of sophomore year.

I've spent my sophomore year trying to recruit for finance; in my second semester, I focused on Sales and Trading because it's what I found most interesting. I studied a lot and networked with ~50 people (there are not as many people in general in S&T to be found, so I wasn't worried about this number). I go to target, and I have sales and finance experience on my resume, a 3.6 GPA, campus leadership, and competitions; it seemed like I had a fair shot at it. Coming to what feels like the end of recruiting, I've got nothing; I've applied to 20 or so jobs with mostly BB firms (and 100s of random finance positions on a handshake), done about 10 hirevues, all of my networking calls went well, but nothing. Not even a Zoom interview. 

I know the job market is tough and a lot of people with amazing resumes at my school trying for S&T, IB, PE, are coming up empty-handed
Wondering what to do, is it possible to recruit fall junior year for stuff? Can I recruit IB or something else in the fall if S&T isn't possible and try to move later? Just not sure what to do and kind of freaking out that it really seems like I missed the "sophomore spring" cycle, which a lot of people make out to be your only chance. 

 

Also sophomore here, some s&t SA hire in the fall you could def try again, but lowk you should find out really quickly if you're not made for s&t. I realized this very early on bc people kept referring me to other groups so I pivoted to IBD. My suggestion is to perhaps seek feedback from interviewers and coffee chats as much as possible 

 

wdym find out if you’re not made for s&t?

how did you realize that 

 

UBS has sent out so many superday rounds. I didn’t get any coming from a non target and I know this year they really care about target schools. The offer rate is really low tho. 

 

Time to turn black or Hispanic. How much do you want it?
