Hey everyone,
Just some background, I'm approaching my second year at a bank doing CB. Lately, I've been applying to my exact role at different banks but I keep getting rejected. This might be a dumb question but is it my resume or just 'cause of the general labor market given that some banks have been laying off people/ doing hiring freeze?

Depends. Did you go to a target, what’s your gpa, and do you have a referral/have you networked at the places you’re applying to?
Would say that networking trumps all. Suggest pursuing that more if you’re looking to switch roles.
I did not go to a target, GPA is over 3.5, and I haven't networked at any places lately, which obviously doesnt help. But I guess I'm just not sure why I can't get an interview invitation, didn't have that problem when I was recruiting in college. Not really sure how it works now that I'm at my first job out of college.
I work in CB. 3rd year analyst and have been applying to things in IB and been getting good traction. I have done an extensive amount of networking though so would say 75% of my opportunities come from that and the other 25% just from online applications. Hiring has been a lot better recently. Most groups are swamped and need bodies to handle all the work and want people with experience that can get up to speed quickly and help out
Any culminations so far? I might look into it if market's good
3 superdays recently and 1 offer. Turned it down actually and continuing to look for the right opportunity
