No banking offers other similar jobs?
I am about to graduate from a target without a banking offer. I'm interested in working on deals and getting a solid experience, what other types of positions and companies should i be looking at? What groups at accounting/consulting firms? or others i might not have though of. My long term goal is private equity and prob going to try and transfer into banking after a year or two at my first job. Any insights are appreciated.
i know many lads in your situation.
one word: bschool
play your cards right over the next 3-4 years and you can come in as an associate
thats what i've been told anyway.
i didn't land an analyst position either (no rejections, all cancellations). landed a sweet job with an international reinsurance brokerage firm. very similar in terms of the business (pitching, modeling, excel work, etc.)
bright side: no IBanking aholes, good pay plus all the spare time to do things I like until I head over to bschool.
No rejections, all cancellations? What happened? How many?
I would get my MSA or go work for a Big 4 accounting firm. Finally, I would probably contact an executive recruiting company
What the hell is the MSA? I have never heard of that...unless you are talking about the Mine Safety Appliance certification?
I would say that hardly anyone on this board wants to do banking for life - which is why I cringe whenever someone suggests working for a few years and coming in as an associate after bschool. The most attractive thing about banking is the exit opps; people are dying to get out of banking, not into it. When you come in as an associate, you've become a career banker and your chance at buy-side jobs is nullified.
Voluptate praesentium officia est harum. Ut error quia ex sed.
