Berkeley Finance Club places very well for IB so look into that. UFA is great for networking/connections and also has great placements. If you're interested in S&T or quant then CIB is probably the best with solid placements. Otherwise, if you're more interested in equities, then BIG (Point72 sponsored) is the best placements into HFs.
Yep, I would agree. Berkeley Finance Club has pretty consistent placements in top IB roles. BIG and CIB are very solid as well, but are slightly more focused on Quant or Buyside placements. UFA is almost purely a networking club with lots of overlap between the other finance clubs and business frats.
heard AEZ has a pretty solid network as well, not too sure though
Yeah I’m not sure how?? Their placements for finance seem to be really good just looking at their website with a good amount in elite boutique and BBs

club doesn’t matter 4 placement just go to one w ppl u like lol
for I.B. specifically, BAP/CBA/UBG are the "trinity" business frats with very involved alumni networks to get you past the resume screen. BIG/CIB are student-run hedgefunds. UFA & BFC (AKA UFC) for network and little/no time commitment. AEZ if you're indian. CFA if you're Chinese. not sure about blackskies/UPEC
which business frat is the strongest for finance? was thinking about joining one next semester. I'm already in one of the other finance clubs you mentioned but its not too helpful for recruiting lmao
