UCLA Shout Out

To all my fellow bruins out there, just want to start thread for all those potential or current bankers who spent their college days in Westwood. I especially want to use this thread for all those Juniors and Seniors shooting for 2012 SA or FT slots this upcoming recruiting season.

So go ahead, post your story on here, so we can do some old fashioned online true bruin networking.

 

I'm a rising junior working at a boutique right now.

I'm not sure how effective it will be networking on here. From what I've heard almost all the good networking comes from the Investment Banking Workshop.

3rd year econ student. Interning at a small PE shop right now in century city, before that I interned at a small PWM shop in k-town. Looking to get a school year internship at a boutique and use that to possibly leverage my way into a SA at a BB. Bruin network is pretty weak--I read in other threads it's cause of the sheer diversity of goals at UCLA. I've been really trying to reach out to boutiques and even MM banks to try to find some internship opportunity during Fall but I haven't really been successful yet. A lot of MDs and VPs will reciprocate my calls but for informational interviews not for internship possibilities. Those of you who interned at a boutique--did you go through bruinview or network on your own?
