"Experienced Professional" vs. "Students & College Grads"
What are the guidelines behind applying to “Experienced Professional” positions right out of undergrad?
I’ve held an intern role at a F50 firm since after my freshmen year and by the time I graduate next May I will have 6 rotations and 3 full years of experience. I decided not to pursue a FLDP at my firm and was told by many senior employees/execs to apply to higher-level job requisitions at my firm and leverage the 3 years of internship experience. If I decide to go external, can I use that same guidance and apply to job requisitions requiring 1-3 years experience at other firms (outside of New Analysts roles), in the experienced professional seciont? I briefly looked at Goldman Sachs careers page and they had a section for “Experienced Professionals” and “Students and College Grads”. The “Students and College Grads” section is more fitting because I’m still in college, but is it worth applying to positions in the experienced sections given the 3 years of corporate finance rotations?
Thanks
Ironically I fall under this to a T.
3 years of full time work experience while doing my degree; I'd say if you are aiming for something F500 (or F50 as you noted) then you might be better off still doing the FLDP or a traditional route at the firm. It's more of a fit/culture thing but I don't seem them allowing you to come in as a senior analyst (although some will).
Maybe towards the lower half of F500 and the rest of the F1000 you will be completely solid with applying to senior positions and very well have a good shop at getting it.
If you're aiming for something like IB then you will definitely be coming in as an analyst like the rest of everybody else.
