With these industry recruiting cycles getting earlier and earlier, it would be a good idea to have a thread which lists the industry timeline for the Fall and onward.

Investment Banking Mock Coffee Chat

“Had a brilliant session with Alessandro, gaining deep insight into his career from the start to his current role at JB. We discussed exams to build a strong technical foundation alongside on-the-job learning and finding the right environment. We also explored parallels between private banking and IB, work-life balance, and AI's growing role, specifically how junior analysts need to extract information and understand emerging topics. We have mentioned keeping in touch, and if any further questions arise to reach out.”

Investment Banking Career Roadmap (optional)

“I had a very easy time talking to Jeppe and I would enjoy talking to him again. He was very helpful when it came to explains the different paths I could take and how to best position myself when it came to actually getting there and being on the ball with my development in Finance. The main takeaways from the session I had were that I should continue trying to join the funds on my campus as along with Wall Street Oasis, they give me a large network of people that can help me, and they will also prepare me for the work I will be doing. Along with my GPA being a large focus as I come from a Non-Target school.”

Is it too early to list "Incoming 2020 investment banking SA" on my LinkedIn?
