Following up on resume
How do I go about contacting someone from an IB group for JPM? I applied about three weeks ago for the analyst and summer analyst positions and I would like to follow up on it. I can't even find the HR contact info.
Profile: 3.2 Cum/3.5Major; Business Admin - Finance Concentration, Minor: Economics Recent graduate from a non-target in LA looking to break in; Had a s****y gov job for 9 years, went back to school and now looking to switch industries; Workin' on CFA L1 to brings odds of getting an analyst job in my favor. Plus MBA is expensive No job since graduation;
What are my odds? Any other options in an analyst capacity? Should I just give it up? I posted a job search help in the job forum but no help there (title: yet another analyst intern job search advice needed)
Thanks in advance
Almost certain JPM has a 3.5 cumulative cutoff, so you are probably getting auto-rejected by the system. Hard to get around that unless you have a lot of people pulling for you. JPM summer analyst is basically done and the full time analyst spots are nearly done/also highly competitive (would need to have done a SA at another top firm), so truthfully I would focus on other things if it was basically a shot in the dark app.
With your profile I think your best odds towards IB are with a boutique firm, probably in LA. You'd need to network with alumni and be able to articulate your story well. CFA L1 is not going to hugely help your resume, I would 100% focus on getting a job first / networking into some IB or finance function. Do CFA on the side/weekends once you have a job, but it's not a gamechanger at all right now.
editing: just skimmed your other thread, it seems like you have only applied to huge firms: JP, GS, WF, JP middle market. This is like if you decided to only apply to the ivy league for college with decent but not amazing stats... you should be applying for every finance-ish role you see online. Corp dev, startup, research for a smaller fund, smaller IB analyst role would be ideal but don't count on it. Get a job in something and you can try to work your way up to BB firms but GS and JP are probably not likely right now.
Thanks a lot. I'll take your advice
JPM spots are just about full. You were likely auto dinged I you've heard nothing back and 3 weeks ago truthfully wasn't early enough of an application. If you're a recent graduate you 99.99% won't even be considered for the SA position. This isn't a MM where you can plead that you'll work for free and consider yourself an "intern" post graduation. There is a pretty hard rule you have to be CURRENTLY pursuing a degree at an accredited university for any SA role. Likely an auto ding for FT as well if you just cold applied through an online portal.
