Career Resources
Time to get unfucked. The process has been very gamed out and solved atp even for non-targets. Network network network.
Am I still fucked if I start to network in 3 weeks (so I'm 100% ready to ace the interview)?
Where will you be interviewing in 3 weeks? FT processes are happening right now and likely wrap up in the next two weeks. You are fucked regardless and the only way to get unfucked is by networking. Why you want to wait 3 weeks to network is beyond me but do whatever you feel is most comfortable I guess.
Also not exactly sure why you want a CFA. The only place I see where it helps is for career switchers. I see you commented that headhunters dig CFAs, but do you know what headhunters really dig? Investment banking analysts.
In 3 weeks ull be interviewing at McDonald’s
Why are you studying for the CFA (especially L2) if you are recruiting for IB???? Genuinely confused
I grossly overestimated my abilities... that said the thesis for it is still intact: I want to do all 3 before graduating next summer to have the full designation by 24
no my question was why are you trying to get a CFA designation in the first place if you are trying to get into IB. I am sorry but it is useless in this industry
edit: if it's your life goal to hold that CFA title, I am not stopping you, but all I am saying is that you gotta know your priorities right now
Damn the fellas are still going at it lmao
The kin major started it
.
How quickly do interviews happen after applications drop?
Firm by firm and group by group. Can be as long as weeks or months or can be as short as the next day. Some apps are there for admin purposes only as well so make sure to network to stay on top of it
