Mod Note (Andy): Best of 2016, this post ranks #21 for the past year

 

Good luck everyone...remember that your mentality should not be "BB or bust!"...there are a lot of great jobs at smaller MM and boutique shops. So try to get your resume polished and ready to go so that you have time for interview prep, school, etc when you head back to classes in late Aug/Sept.

Crush it monkeys! Patrick

ps - remember this isn't life or death

 

Can anybody share more about how to connect with their schools recruiting team? Especially at a target where everyone wants to apply for a position at a BB and boutiques etc

 

I think it would be good to mention the looming Italian bank crisis. Obviously you should be able to discuss the commodity price environment, particularly oil. You should be able to talk about the stance that Fed officials are starting to take on economic productivity in the United States and whether or not to raise rates, and what implications this would have on investment banking (if rates go up, financing deals becomes more expensive). I like to discuss the fact that if rates are at zero, what are central banks going to be able to do (in terms of monetary policy) about another recession. Just read the FT and the WSJ, sharpen up on dealbook and be able to pitch a deal that you have looked into. However, DONT get stuck in some confusing, circular tangent about a topic that you can't discuss very well because you are nervous and don't know how to end your sentence without making a concrete point. Hope this helps

Just finished my interview:

Questions involved: * What motivated you to pick your major(s) and university, do you think you made a good choice? * Giving an example of working on projects with tight schedules/deadlines, how did you do and how did you meet expectations? * Give an example of forging personal relationships with coworkers and supervisors and how these improved the quality of your work * What particular skills do you currently have that you believe would be of use working as an Analyst at GS (they say you have to be specific for this one; I talked about my extensive Excel work and the praise it has received as well as my public speaking/debate career and how it could help me put together pitchbooks) * Giving your thoughts about one current market trend or talking about a particular financial, technological or business idea that you have

I did not like HireView at all. It's really hard to properly communicate when you aren't getting any visual feedback from the other person, and looking at myself talking made me lose my train of thought a couple times; I became focused on whether I was smiling enough or making proper eye contact with the camera instead of finishing my response.

There's only 2 minutes per question, which made the interview fly by though. I would have enjoyed a person interview, but I believe my performance was good overall.
