You have no chance in high finance when...
- You need help with sending networking and thank you emails.
- You ask for target schools of a specific firm, which means... You aren't at a target.
- Your "pitch" includes statements about a "passion for finance".
- You ask about the frequency of cold emails.
- You need help with your suit color.
- You debate which Ivy presents the best chance to break into x, y, z and you don't/didn't go to an Ivy.
- Your question can easily be answered with a Google search.
- You use such words as ibanking or ibanker.
- You ask "What are my chances?".
- You ask if the job you're submitting an online application is FO, MO or BO.
Tough but fair.
Honestly I pretty much agree with your list. The part you're leaving out is that you'll all be working for us in tech this next generation. 'Finance' is the 'it' career for people my dad's age.
I like it.
Heartily applauded and SB'ed.

That's cool and all guys, but I need help with an email that I'm writing to an associate ibanker at the Goldman Sachs. He went to my school for like 2 years before transferring to an ivy, so I think that my school is a target for the Goldman Sachs. I'm wondering what are my chances if I cold email him because I feel like people don't cold email that much as it's kind of awkward. Anyway, I want to tell him how my passion for finance has led me to him through a Linkedin search. I think that the job I'm applying for is in the front because the questions ask things like, "Do you have the people skill", but should I ask him about it in the email (if I send it, you guys need to let me know)? I think that he got the job because he transferred to Wharton since Wharton is the only ivy league university with a business school I feel like you can't really break into the finance without a finance degree like he has. Thanks for your help guys, hopefully you can help me get into ibanking.
is this a joke? correct me if im wrong, but i don't quite understand because it is absolutely contrary to everything said in the post
Didn't grow up in America huh? He's joking..
well considering this is an internet board, sarcasm can be hard to detect.
Sorry, but that was blatant sarcasm..."That's cool and all guys, but I need help with an email" was the tip off.
This is an internet board - everyone should be trolling until proven otherwise!
Troll harder, TRILLA!

[quote=JimmyDormandy]http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/why-you-arent-getting-offers[/quo…] That's a great post.
It means you didn't get the offer or you didn't get the internship or your OCR is nonexistent and there are no jobs.
Didn't bump this last year, but doing it this year.
Hopefuls out there, read it and weep. If you're doing these things, you're wrong.
32... You write in broken english.
@"IvyLeagueVet" you forgot to add the questions about "which watch/belt/earrings/dildo should I buy for my SA stint?"
The dildo should always be a mold of your MD.

This list should be stickied at the top of Get A Job.
You ask what are your chances when you have a 3.8 at Harvard
agree with all, except the n.1
