Rising junior trying to break into IBD

• US Non-target international student

• Will do F100 CorpDev internship in New York this summer

I would be incredibly thankful for any suggestions (or comments) you guys might have. Thanks a lot for your time and help!

EDUCATION 1. stick major and cumulative gpa on one line. 2. try to stick your coursework/honors on one line for each of them, it looks a little bare when you split it into two lines for both of them

WORK EXPERIENCE 1. ib critique Try to use this format:

(bullet) Constructed pitch and transaction materials consisting of various company-specific and industry-wide analyses Transactional Experience (bolded header) (bullet) Executed $X deal for blah blah blah company (sub-bullet) list responsibilities for that deal

  1. investment office Try to list out your bullets by projects then sub-bullets for your duties on the projects

EXTRACURRICULARS: 1. some investment club

i'd try to list out a specific pitch you did, using sub-bullets to explain your specific findings: for example, (bullet) pitched xyz, $X entry price, $X exit, X% increase (sub-bullet) found undervalued through blah blah (sub-bullet) found xyz as catalyst because blah blah

Sorry this was a quick type up so formatting sucks. lemme know if you're confused.

 

since you sound genuinely interested in TMT because of programming and media put that as your interest.. just a suggestion could be a strong talking point...

just a criticism.. too much activities,, keep it to one line.. and very interesting how you used to be an actor ahahha

network and you should be in good shape for recruiting

 

Grant Info....I would consider removing that and also the coursework information. But apart from that seems good to go out!
