career

I'm currently into the first year of my analyst gig at a very well known MM/Boutique and I was beginning to look at my resume with hopes of applying to PEs/VCs over the next few months, but I am stumped on how to talk about and describe my banking experience thus far. Can anyone who has applied to PE shops, VCs or any other positions after 2 years of banking please share what they wrote or how they talked about their analyst experience on their resume. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hello, I came across this site a few days ago and I've really enjoyed reading your posts and discussions. I figured I'd put my dignity aside and ask this belittling question. Here goes and I warn you its far from wall street glamorous, I just hope I dont get the boot after this is posted!

Where should I apply to get a job given these possible statistics:

3.5 GPA from a school that rounds out the bottom of top 20 universities in US by USNews
Math/Computer Engineering Major
An interesting EC with some awards to boot
intern experience at big 4 tech consulting

Where would you apply?

Hi everyone,

I have already interned at a top corporate (think P&G, Google) and at MBB. I declined banking offers last year because of the subprime crisis. But now I don't know where to apply for next summer.

What is hot, now, given the downturn?

a. Is IB still hot? Then I would apply at GS, and...? I don't really know which banks are in good shape and will offer nice exit opportunities 3 years on.

b. Or is MBB the safest bet? Then I could intern at another MBB.

c. Is it possible to land a VC/PE/HF internship (in London) as an undergraduate?

d. What about trading? Is recruiting affected by the crisis? If not, what banks are hot right now?

Damn, I really need your opinion because I am so confused career-wise.

please rate these 4 type of careers separately according to two criterion form est to worst. the criteria are
1. compensation( money) 2. hours( work life balance)

and the careers are consulting, ibd, er, pe, vc, trading.
i know it is not practical to compare these but i think we can compare thses on th criteria i mentioned.

thx in advance for replies
