Analyst Dropout Rate, snagging an opening, entering off cycle
I am interested if anyone has experience or stories of analysts who have entered a class either a month or two before or after the class started (obviously due to hiring need and attrition).
I've been trying to enter (off cycle, out of school) for 4 months and with the analyst classes starting in exactly one month I am on a networking rampage. I want to be realistic with myself though and am trying to connect with people who have entered off cycle or who know what the likelihood is that I will be able to find an interview or opening in the next month or two...
Thanks

My advice would be to target middle market/boutique firms without a formal fall recruiting process and more importantly, NEVER GIVE UP

it happens. One guy dropped out in the first 2 months when we started. You best bet is dec and july times though
Hey Riqles, What caused this
Hey Riqles,
What caused this guy to drop out?
In my city there are a few BB
In my city there are a few BB analyst positions that just opened up. Obviously they might not be your first choice or location but keep networking and applying and don't give up. And, the competition shouldn't be as fierce at this point.
he just decied it wasn't
he just decied it wasn't right for him. People get into IBD for "exit opps" but after working for 2 months he decided he didn't want to do either hf or PE so he got out. Smart move on his part
