Really solid plan ngl.

 

thanks for all the support. Been a rough recruiting cycle and was down I couldn't get a IB seat but all the support makes me feel better about it

 

Wound up getting a banking seat, feel extremely grateful. I deleted all social media from my phone and went head down for a few months.

 

Still on search. I've been looking into other roles as well, but I also feel like I'm spreading my network a little too thin. I had like 1-2 contacts at each firm, but some of them already switched out of banking. Feels like I'm not strategizing well tbh. There's only so many people willing to hop on a call for someone who they're not recruiting, some of my loose network's leaving for PE, and I'm having finding new firms.

 

Was fortunate to get an offer at a great MM bank. It’s in a completely different product group (debt advisory) than what I’m used to (technology) and in a different city than I initially was looking for but excited as hell regardless

 

How were you able to get this? I have been networking relentlessly and seems like there isn't opportunities. Did you have a connection or did they come on campus?
