Ello gents, first time poster here
I am a MA-Econ student at a semi-target hoping to break into IB. I have attached my resume, so please destroy it!
Reaching for IB, good fit for commercial banking, will "settle" for corp fin.
Please and thank you!

Before I make any comments about content, REDACT YOUR NAME AND ANY OTHER INFORMATION THAT MAKES YOU EASY TO IDENTIFY. This is probably the first rule in putting your resume out for public review, for your benefit. Content wise, it seems fine at first glance, although I would move last bullet point for 1st work experience higher in discussion of achievements for the job and there are a lot of skills you list. Remove PowerPoint (assume you are Microsoft Office proficient). That is what stands out immediately (also, the TBD GPA is murky area territory). I would say networking should be a key focus for you as you will compete for competitive FT IBD spots.
i hope to christ that's not your real name.
in other news, "ongoing" is one word and your GPA is kinda low
I know 3 GPA's is a bit excessive, but I sort of like the format he has used for that section (yes, I have a sub par gpa). I am considering putting my last year's gpa, in a similar format, only putting 2 GPAs though. thoughts? Or maybe just last semester? Though I feel that is probably way worse than putting last year's?
Great advice. Any other advice fellas?
Hey blackmamba22,
Not my real name, lol. Thanks for the "ongoing", and I acknowledge the low GPA; one of the reasons for an MA.
Anything else fellas?
