should have transferred bro
Its not a big deal. Why do you care what your friends think? My good friends have no idea what I am going in to. Yea it absolutely sucks for recruiting but if you want to do banking then you make it work. If you don't get it on the first time then you graduate and network. Stop worrying about anyone else but yourself. If you know what you wanna do then go for it.
Non-target is absolutely terrible. Not sure what is below non-target besides CC, but trust me, my school is borderline. Kids at my school (in finance major may I remind you) think that if you work at Morgan Stanley or Goldman Sachs that you automatically work in IBD.
However, is the point of this thread to commiserate? Or what?
At my school (Canada), 95% of the kids in finance (there's a couple hundred) don't actually know what investment banking is. Do I give a shit? No. Did I get an internship at one of the Canadian banks for this summer? Yes.
Hang in there buddy. It's hard to get into banking coming from a non target, but it is far from impossible.
Just try to get a near perfect GPA and do as many internships as possible. The amount and quality of internships was the dealbreaker for me. I did nearly twice as much internships as all the other students I know, but ultimately it was worth the hustle.
Coming from a non target, it is hard to get a decent first internship, hence you have to "work yourself up". I started at a regional office of a tier 2 bank in corporate banking for my first internship, then did Big4 Audit, Big4 M&A, boutique M&A and ultimately landed a gig at an elite boutique in M&A. Since a few months, I'm an analyst at this particular elite boutique and landed offers from a few BBs as well.
In the first week on the job, it is kind of awkward when someone in the office asks you where you went to college and you're from an absolute non target while everyone else went to top institutions , but after that, the non-target stigma disappears and your performance counts.
Good luck.
Great; kill yourself then? Like seriously what the hell are you doing. I'm not going to divulge my background but I came from a "nontarget" and have done decently.
And for all future and current nontargets, please note the paradox of nontargetry: The reason your school is a nontarget is because students (such as the OP) are too busy complaining about how nontarget their university is rather than preparing for their future. Employers hire students from everywhere. They rehire predominantly from where there previous efforts have been successful.
Are you willing to work hard enough to make your University a target in the future? Or will you still be complaining about how nontarget it was?
TLDR: STFU and do it yourself
Should've worked harder in HS then. Now stop being a bitch and put in double the amount of effort to break in.
What?
You sound insecure. Being at a target wouldn't solve that.
You think you hate it now. Just wait till you get out in the real world / b-school and you're surrounded by Harvard degrees who look down upon you like you're white trash. It sucks.
hey Im a junior at eastern Michigan University and I know Im going to be under scrutinization in every interview but while Im in school I think the best credentials would be to form a corporate entity manage the funds and have those records for every interview. In this position your skills are more evident and open to less debate
being at a standard b school where the focus is not upper management is hard. The majority of the student body is not focused on portfolio analysis and most of the classes are broad in topic with no specfic focus in an area required for out of college work. I found that even calculus is really not helpful when it comes to the analyzation of a companies stock performance hell most of the quadratics and parabola formulas have no real life applications. If you combine that with the fact that the student body will realize the closer you get to graduation that your are going to school to learn how to rule over them you might run into some weird social interactions every time people find out that what I study affects every thing from grocery prices to pension funds they either kiss my ass or hate me or both. Hell people dont even use the term stockbroker anymore because it has negative connotations. And in these days every aspect of life requires a degree so imagine if you can interecting with future blue collar wall street proteseters every day.
I have a friend who just started getting serious with internships.
He tells me his PWM internship will push him into GS IBD.
Note: We're both seniors in our last semester.
A BB PWM internship can get you to GS IBD from a non target. I've seen it happen.
meeting an md at a bar can you megafund pe from a non target too but that's probably happened once in the history of pe recruiting.
Sucks
I'm from a non-target and thoroughly enjoy telling my target school colleagues that I went to a state school best known for the party scene. The trick is to own it. Shouldn't have to apologize your whole life for not wanting to start your career massively in debt or not taking enough AP classes when you were 16 years old because you were worried about playing sports and getting to 3rd base with Emily from your chemistry class.
Fuck yea, own that shit man.
For the non targets who've been on here for a while, you should know the industry in and out.
As long as you transfer to targets, and never speak of your school again, your alma mater will have no alumni and no donations.
Meanwhile target schools get dozens of Wall Street alumni, along with hundreds of mills of their money.
Network. There must be someone from your school who has broken into the street before. Connect with them.
Also, don't discount looking at middle market and boutique shops. If you can break in there, you can always try to leverage that for a BB job in the future. More important to do the work, get some transaction experience, and show that you enjoy it than to work for the "ideal" firm.
We've Non-targets definitely all been in this place before... hating on your program for being shitty or w/e, but you can only go up from there, right?
But don't be that douchebag [not saying anyone in this thread is] that complains about their school, but isn't really out there competing for IB 'gigs. Listen, as soon as anyone hears about IBD that's what they want to do, but if you're an idiot with a shitass GPA, garbage resume, no ECs, and only frat treasurer on there, go fuck yourself. I've heard it so many times at my UG non-target program "oh dude, I wanted IBD but since XYZ school doesn't get recruited its not fair" honestly most non-target UGs aren't even in the same fucking league as the majority of target students. Now I'm not saying that there aren't more than a few target students that get 'gifted' internships, but whatever that's not you and never will be. Just don't be the idiot that blames his/her program for not placing them when you can't even handle the most basic technicals or show up to class.
My second point though:
MMs and boutiques are just as challenging to break into and the interviews are more technical than BBs. Not sure why you are discounting them as an 'easier' way to break in.
MMs and boutiques are just as challenging to break into and the interviews are more technical than BBs. Not sure why you are discounting them as an 'easier' way to break in.[/quote]
Fair enough. I actually had no experience interviewing/networking with BB's, but I did talk and interview with a few boutiques and MMs. My bigger point though is that it's easy to focus on trying to get a NY job with GS or JPM or Citi, but there are a ton of smaller shops that need people, often on an off-cycle basis. There are a ton of great banks out there. If you are serious about getting into the business, you have to play all the options.
listen, it sucks. But stop bitching. Plenty of people hear have broken in out of total non-targets (myself included recently). There are a ton of success stories. If you don't break in, its not because you're parents weren't rich -- its because other kids were better than you. So get better than them, and then try again.
every non-target should be hustling and grinding like a mother fucker. don't expect GS to come to your bumblefuck campus in Oklahoma.
You need to do a 180 on your attitude. I'm sure it is very frustrating and you are frustrated with yourself for not trying harder and getting into a better school. But, at this point there is absolutely nothing you can do about that. All the energy you put into being upset and rehashing the past, saying "I wish I tried harder... blah blah blah" is energy you should be putting into making the most of your situation. You can't change the past, but you can take it as a lesson and work your ass off going forward to make up for it.
1.) Study engineering. (work) 2.) Get hired into one of the better technology groups at a bank. (work) 3.) Internal transfer to FO. (work) 4.) Do a good job there. (work) 5.) (Optional) Princeton/Stanford/CMU/Harvard MFin/MFE/MSCF/MBA, (don't forget your undergraduate roots) (work)
I went to a state school for undergrad. It's tough. It's also infuriating to have to outwork and outperform the privileged to get anywhere. But you can't get down or discouraged about it. You have to apply that energy towards beating the system and ultimately changing the system.
"I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us... if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently." -Paul the Apostle, Romans 8:18,25. (I am a Universalist giving a pep talk, not an evangelical proselytizing)
enough with that privileged crap. i'm 100k+ in debt. thankfully got bb ibd so it was worth it (ish).
On the one hand, OP chose to take less financial risk and more career risk. He chose to get the difficulty out of the way early. You chose to defer that difficulty (which is going to hit when you pay down debt). It's one thing to get to work in banking; it's another to need to work in banking.
OP's difficulty is a product of bulge bracket recruiting practices; Your difficulty is a product of your choices as well as the negative externalities of default risk you create for the federal government. Had you not landed in IBD, taxpayers like me would be paying down your debt and you may very well be protesting with the "Occupy Student Loans" contingent of OWS.
hey no lie I have a friend who is in the investment banking profession and many of his contemporaries sold drugs and got involved with high stakes gambling while going to school. Look at Tim Sykes self made hedge fund manager all from Bar mitzvah money if I were you I might look into grouping together some local campus dealers (everyone's got em) into taking a chance on wall street with you at the helm and once youve made a decent "hillbilly bankroll' drop their asses go get all the finra liscensing you need and solicit currently employed peoples to open an IRA with you being the one with fiduciary responsibility short story start your own firm if you got the skills make a low salary have good credit a good mortgage and accept the same old boring rundown at the lowmax house every friday. Everybody isnt meant to be big time, but lets not forget before you get to small time there is a lot of medium time go and get you some of that baby and live it up.
my idea is the best and most independently profitable
I did my undergrad at a nontarget and am currently getting an Master's at a target. My advice to you is, take advantage of that undying motivation you have to prove yourself. Personally I was much more motivated in undergrad because I wanted it more, thought it was unattainable, and thought that it was the shit because all the Ivy League grads do it.
Yes it's an uphill battle and a lot of people will give you shit for your school, but deep down you know that you're just as competent as the majority of those target kids. Life's not fair, but that's just how it is. Remember that alumni connections mean even more for you than they do for Targets since they'll understand your struggle.
Also take advantage of not being overworked and going to a school with pretty girls.
Most students at Target schools can be roughly categorized into two groups (1) Asian robots who've been preparing for college admissions since preschool and spent their summers since middle school doing stuff like volunteering at hospitals (for the aspiring med school students), research at universities, and interning at the Federal Reserve. (2) trust fund babies who've had everything handed to them and went to prep schools where half the graduating class went to Ivy League schools. Usually a legacy.
Once you realize what it takes to get into a Target school, you'll no longer ascribe such high value to people who go to them.
Can you get anymore bitter? Some people go to targets because they worked their ass off in hs, ever thought about that?
This is all detailed in The Price of Admission: How America's Ruling Class Buys Its Way Into Elite Colleges (Daniel Golden). Golden, the author, is an alumnus of Harvard College (1972).
I do think we need to get over the counter-argument that some people do get into ivies because they are exceptional. The empirical research, conducted by a Harvard alumnus does suggest that ivies set different standards for the children of rich donors. If you went to Harvard or Princeton, it means you're either brilliant or it means you would have gone to Rutgers but you had rich parents.
If you're middle-class, you're screwed, but if you're a middle-class Asian, you're really screwed in the admissions process. (Before you ask, Golden and I are white) Golden finds that despite the fact that 40% of American Math Olympiad finalists are Asian, that a disproportionate number of them are leaders at all sorts of levels, only about 15% of Ivy League students are Asian.
Because of the tainted admissions process, I think we should view any claims that Harvard, Princeton, or Yale students are somehow brilliant or special as... a little suspect. My first-hand experience is that Princeton's CS department is about as smart as the CS department at a top tier state school like UC Berkeley, UIUC, or UT Austin. Princeton's students are very good (they are also better than those at Yale and Harvard) but the school is not Caltech or even mere MIT. I think some students are there because they are truly brilliant; I think many students there are reasonably intelligent and got in because they had rich parents.
I suspect it is the same in other parts of Princeton as well as Harvard and Yale. Most students are very smart, but only 10-20% are truly truly brilliant. This also happens to be the same proportion at the public engineering and hard science schools.
Harvard is perfectly happy to take your money and give you a degree, but when it comes time to actually do research, teach, or maintain the institution's academic excellence, they bring in kids from Caltech, Berkeley, Oregon, and Carnegie Mellon. Although large proportions of students enter the ivies as undergrads hoping to go to grad school, 60-70% of the graduate students doing research in the hard sciences hail from state school undergrad backgrounds.
So the empirical evidence is against you, and the schools themselves concede this when it comes to their graduate admissions decisions. The prestige crowd really does need to come up with a better argument; this one's been exposed.
Im in the same boat, was lazy and didnt want to work in highschool and now I am paying for it being at a non target. I have a high gpa, im working my ass off, and networking everyday and I have to believe it will pay off. Even at non-targets there are very smart people just like you, find them, stay motivated, and work hard. It will pay off.
I'm not on this site for investment banking, so take my advice with a grain of salt. ;)
I'm a Ph.D. student at an Ivy target, but came from a total nontarget undergrad. Having interacted with MANY undergrads at my current school, I honestly don't know what makes "target schools" a big deal. The undergrads where I am now are on par with those at my nontarget undergrad. In fact, if anything, the undergrads at my nontarget are probably better off in the long run because they actually care about learning and being great at something, whereas many Ivy undergrads I meet simply care about getting the 4.0.
If you are getting asked about your undergrad, give them an honest answer but also show ways by which you're trying to push yourself to stand out. For example, some of my undergraduate peers participated in case competitions and not only competed against, but also beat, teams from Ivy's. Also, network, network network.
Good luck
^^^ Why not just borrow money from the mob instead?
TL;DR play the cards you're dealt (more like dealt yourself but nothing you can do now). network, NEWORK, bust your ass, and own your interviews
i'm from a nontarget myself and got offers from "top tier BB" NYC offices for my junior summer. i had nothing finance related during my sophomore summer, and startedwith 0 connections to anyone in finance. Networked my ass off, and leveraged my strengths.
what are your strengths as a nontarget? find alumni in banks and realize they'll be willing to help you out because they probably went through the same thing. (obviously, some schools might not have alum in every bank/your top choice). in my case, the alums i contacted thru cold email/cold calling/meeting for coffee went to bat for me and helped push my resume through. (not guaranteed of course, but thats why i networked with people in various division, about 10 ppl per bank total)
thats the most they can do. but now, you have the interview and have pretty much the exact same cards as everyone else that got interviews thru OCR. stop wasting time thinking about how screwed you are (because the only shot at being less screwed is by networking) and start searching for alumni email addresses. good luck.
I went to a non target undergrad as well and ended up with the job that I wanted (i am currently getting my masters). My advice to you is to try and find a small, regional shop that you could finagle your way into, whether it's through finance professors that have connections in the area or a colder approach. The summer before going into senior year I decided not to leave town and network my dick off instead. Turned out to be worth it since I got a few months experience working at a small brokerage firm in multiple departments. Definitely improved my resume and revealed a lot about my character when I "sold" my story during interviews.
One important thing that took me a while to learn is that if you don't put yourself out there, you're not going to reach anyone. You'd be surprised how quickly things can get moving if you just ask the right people.
Obviously, this kind of depends on where you go to school (college town vs actual city).
Definitely agree with you on looking at small regional shops. The disadvantage is that the deals probably won't be that big or newsworthy. There is a significant advantage though: the size of the deals means that you get to work on a ton of smaller deals and get really good transaction/industry experience. Was talking with an analyst at a MM a few months ago who had some experience working at a BB, and he told me that he would have maybe 2 M&A deals under his belt after 2 years at the BB versus 5-7 deals at the MM. Don't know if those numbers are typical, but it's illustrative nonetheless.
if you cant hustle you probably wouldnt do well in ibd or s&t anyways, if you can hustle its not too hard
Stop crying. It's not gonna help you.
I go to a CSU and I tried to transfer out, but unfortunately i got into some personal issues that stopped my transfer. As many people said instead of bitching, why don't u think of your options. 1) network ur ass off. 2) get job as a audit at big 4, then move to transitions m & a, then go on from there. 3) get a MSF, MMS and then go to big 4 or IB, or any finance jobs. Keep your options open and god has a plan for u.
and what did u write in ur resume? maybe if u explain what you did at GM then they won't think ur selling cars.
finally read all the success stories on WSO, it gives u hope
Is this thread real?? I mean really. Between all of you with Harvard's cock in your mouth and the rest not writing in English, I don't know what's happening here. OP, start with step 1: Express your thoughts in complete sentences.
I'll be going to a bb S&T SA this summer. I'm from a complete non-target. Networking is your best friend.
Non-target obviously makes it tougher but you make it more difficult due to your attitude and perceived work ethic. Realize you need to network + kill your classes + do finance work outside of class and you can get on the street.
You can't focus on what could've been. the temptation is easy but it's like sitting in a rocking chair: it gives you something to do but gets you nowhere. Here's my advice to you. 1) Google every investment bank you can find. 2) Try and find someone at those firms through linked in, alumni directory, etc. 3)Network the hell out of that list. 4)look at other alternatives that can give you skills similar to banking, big 4, commercial or corporate banking, PWM, especially so if you're a sophomore or junior. 5) know your story cold. If you go to a non target just say upfront you became interested in banking later. You have two choices, give up, lick your wounds, and spend the rest of your life complaining about what could've been or fight like hell for what's important to you. I think you know what choice I'm endorsing. There's no guarantee of success, but I'd rather go down swinging that bitching about how the odds were stacked against me because I went to a non target. It sucks, it's frustrating, I get it. But you're going to be much better off channeling that energy and frustration into pounding the pavement than complaining, even if it seems at this point in time like your work up 'til this point hasn't paid off. Good luck.
In the 1950s and 60s, though, all of the bankers wanted to work for insurance companies. That's how bad it got in the 30 year downturn in banking that happened after the crash of 1929. And up until the '80s, engineers made as much as bankers. They will probably make as much as bankers again.
I don't think someone who decides to join the productive economy (EG: engineering, tech, insurance) is going to be unhappy about it.
I try to make this point over and over and these damn kids never listen.
Truly a horrible feel. But past is the past right? Just hope to make sure the future doesn't suck as much.
non-target does suck, but if you work hard enough - and of course luck plays a factor - you'd be surprised at what you can accomplish.
the traffic on this site has really died.
I can't stand excuses.
It's not the non-target that is holding you back. Keep hustling, you will get something.
needed to read some of the + comments here. Networked a ton (not just cold calls/emails - but actual office visits; meet people, other schools info session etc) & only had two interviews, none of which came through networking. Have not heard back so not looking good, but hey there is always FT recruiting. Best advice, GPA, meet people, do something interesting = offer.
smallmoneygrower where you at? You can't just write some of the funniest comments I've ever read and disappear from the convo
So what exactly is the school you go to that is a non-target?
It may be hard to get in the door, but once you do, it does not matter. The higher up the org chart, the less % went to Ivy League schools..
I am a 3.5 GPA student at a non-target. Networked my ass off and now have a Summer Analyst position this Summer at top BB.
Change your attitude, work hard, network, and good things will come.
Good luck
I went to a non-target state school and our recruiting events were so bad the only companies to show up were Enterprise and financial advisor (full commish) jobs. Four years out of school I've worked my way up and I'm now at a top management consulting firm while all my college friends who thought I was shooting for opportunities out of our league are still living in their parents basement and wondering if their merit increase will be 2% or 3% this year. Be confident in your decision to attend the school that you did and work your ass off and eventually the playing field will be even again.
Coming from a non target definitely increases the difficulty of landing a solid ibanking job, but instead of bitching about how hard it is, you should be reaching out to every alumni from your school in every industry within finance networking your balls off. Get a couple internships, continue expanding your professional network, and you will work your way up. I'm about to graduate from a non target school and will be working for a great middle market ibank after graduation (street pay, sell side M&A, etc). It wasn't easy to get, but very few badass things in life are.
here is an idea for a business... but i'm way to busy to do it my self.... what about a service that helps students at non targets to find jobs?
is it your school's fault that you're there now? no, its your fault that you didn't do well enough in high school to get into a top college. instead of asking what you can do to improve your chances, your whining makes you sound like a little bitch.
change your attitude and you'll be better off.
cheers!
Caltech undergrad to Harvard or MIT PhD like some Asians do would have been a better way to let everyone know you're brilliant.
Tl;dr - please don't make assumptions about target schools and their students. They worked hard in high school, doesn't mean they're rich/famous/legacies. And it also doesn't mean non-targets don't have a chance to be successful. It is what it is, and it's important to note the facts, get over the fact that you have a worse chance of breaking in, and just work harder instead of moping.
This is ridiculous. I went to a state school and then transferred into an Ivy, and I can safely say that the caliber of students differs enormously. In fact, at my old school I can say that I met about 2-3 people that would be around average at my current school (I am, for example, average). Everybody else falls far below. And with the following I'm not speaking about top state schools, namely UC Berkeley, UMich, or UVA. I'm talking about schools like the SUNYs or PSU or OSU:
You don't have to be rich to attend Harvard, Yale, or Princeton. If you look at aid packages, HYP schools offer comprehensive financial aid to families receiving >150-200k/yr. That's ridiculous - 200k/yr families are easily able to afford the 50k/yr tuition, but they give aid anyways. Money is never a problem in attending HYP - if you didn't go, you didn't get in.
With regards to the legacy argument - I cannot tell the difference between legacy admits and regular admits. I see athletes that have below-average academic focus (that's a reality), but rich kids and legacy kids are extremely difficult to differentiate. Rich kids keep a very low profile and don't brag about it, and they work just as hard as everybody else. The legacy pool has become so competitive (it only matters in early decision applicants) that the difference is fundamentally nonexistent.
I hate when people say that Ivy League kids get into the schools because of connections/money, because that discounts all the hard work that people do in high school. Kids at top-caliber schools, for the most part, are brilliant, and there's a reason why they get the good jobs after graduation. I know for a fact that, while I attend an Ivy League school now, I did not deserve to get in after high school. The only reason I am where I am is because I worked very hard at my old school, and I understood the difference between target and non-target students. In fact, I would venture that many Ivy Leagues are underrepresented when it comes to IBD recruiting. The reasons:
I got a 3.8+ from my old school with little/no effort, and I can barely break 3.5 here working my ass off. State school academics (for the most part) are a joke. However, employers treat a 3.8 at a state school similarly to a 3.8 at an Ivy because OCR only takes a certain number of kids (very limited) at Ivies, and there are more than enough brilliant kids with ridiculously high GPAs to fill those slots.
You should see the resumes here. I thought I was competitive at my old school, and I thought that the top kids were really competitive, but that's simply not true. Target school kids don't only intern for freshman/sophomore summers - most intern during the year as well, doing everything from hedge fund research to private equity valuation to M&A advisory. It's no longer enough to have just a good sophomore internship, you need more than that to even just get considered for an interview.
For all those people who say that SAT has no correlation with intelligence - I'll just put it out there that I disagree. I don't completely disagree - there's no difference between a 2200 and a 2400 (for the most part), and people can't use it as the sole determinant of intelligence/diligence/potential for success/etc. But I've never met a moron who could score above a 2000, and I've never met a genius who scored under 2100. I'm just going to put that out there - the groups are not definitive (you're not a moron if you score under 2100, you're not a genius if you score above 2100) but there is a small correlation. So that's why employers want to know, and that's why colleges treat SAT scores so heavily. And while I don't ask about SAT scores, LinkedIn for the most part lists all my college connections as being National Merit Scholars. That's definitely >2200 on the SATs.
In high school, the now-biology majors did research that will blow your mind. Some kids started million-dollar foundations in their youth, or organized fundraisers for cancer, or went to international competitions representing the US. Did you do that? I know I didn't. Extraordinary kids in Ivy League schools are everywhere, and nowhere on state school campuses. I don't think they all are rich or legacies, and I'm pretty sure the sheer volume of them at my school (non-HYP) means that many of them didn't get into the very top schools. For example, I know that there are some international science olympiad kids (physics, chemistry, etc.) that didn't get into Harvard or Princeton. It's no longer enough to be brilliant - you have to be able to add value to the campus, and academic achievement isn't sufficient. And it's not good enough to be well-rounded. Fundamentally, you have to be very good at everything, and extraordinary at something else.
For the grad school argument - you do realize that STEM majors at Ivy League schools, for the most part, don't even want to go to grad school right? That's why non-targets are so highly represented in PhD programs. If you want better comparison, you should look at the number of target school grads attending HBS, Penn Medical School, or Yale Law. And the only reason these school aren't more highly represented is because of admissions quotas.
Also, for the representation argument - it's statistically inevitable that non-targets will dominate many programs anyway. If you look at the sheer number of non-target grads every year and compare that to target-school grads, you get a better idea of why it's more likely to be successful from a target school than a non-target school. And your degree doesn't matter after your first few jobs, so it's safe to say that many target school students are able to prove their abilities even after graduation. And think about it - just about every single President we've had has graduated/had affiliation with an Ivy League school.
Sorry if this doesn't make sense. I'm really tired.
