How much does GPA matter for FT recruiting?

Going to be working for MTS Health Advisors and might be attempting to make the move to a BB/EB either after SA or some time into FT. How much does GPA matter, should I enjoy the rest of my time at school or is there a cutoff I should aim for?

Cant speak to the importance of the GPA, but I don’t see why you can’t let loose and have a good time without shooting for a high GPA.

 

damnit really. Ok so heres the deal I am going to be at a boutique and want to make the move to a BB/EB. How difficult is that when you say FT is incredibly competitive? Like a good boutique tho, think FTPartners.

 

Aut qui quasi amet voluptatibus et. Et quis saepe dicta sapiente recusandae magnam sit quos. Iusto iste facere velit id. Quasi delectus ut non perferendis deleniti quis.
