Struggling on how to Approach FT 24 Analyst Recruiting
Hi everyone, wanted to see if anyone might have advice related to approaching FT '24 recruiting.

Saw an associate on the investment team recently made this move. Ivy undergraduate, started their career at a BB IB, then MF PE (think BX, KKR, APO, and so forth), and now attending a T3 law school (Yale, Stanford, Harvard). Stand-alone JD program, no JD/MBA. It made me ponder what would be a good...
Dropping Minor After SA Gig (FT Offer Received)
Hey guys, I interned as a summer analyst this summer. Got the full time offer and thinking of dropping minor.

Trusted Advisor or Glorified Real Estate Agent
Curious about the reality of banking at the senior levels. MDs often pride themselves on being "trusted advisors" to CEOs and boards, but are they really? It seems to me that on most M&A deals, especially sell-sides, the investment bankers are basically just running a process. Obviously that's...

Hey, I am an MSc Finance grad from a top target school in London. I did a 10-week internship with a bulge bracket bank last year (didn't get an offer due to headcount). Since then I haven't had a single offer and have spent the entire year looking for jobs. Tried to bridge the CV gap with online...
