I was wondering if the approach for these two firms differed from just cold reaching out to analysts, should I try to find HR/Associates/VP's/etc (smaller boutiques so I doubt they have HR departments)? I don't have any alumni at these firms, so I've been really persistent on the cold emails to analysts, I just haven't had any response. Any advice welcome. I'm recruiting for a summer analyst position. Thank you all.

bump
for miller Buckfire their HR is Stifel's Hr so reach out to them
That's like saying reach out to the Loch ness monster
you there again, you are everywhere did you secure a sa 2021? s
No I unfortunately did not secure a SA gig for 2021. granted I did not recruit considering I am FT.
gotchu i didn't secure anything im just depressed now
Heads up young monkey. The game is never over. I had my fair share of strike out prior to landing my role (the majority of us did), so don't be to hard on yourself. Keep at the grind and it will only make you tougher.
what would you say, I can do to best position myself for full-time (i go to nontarget, low gpa 3.0-3.4, but I had 8 first rounds and 2 super days for the SA 2021 process, which came through networking). so with that in mind how can I best prepare myself for full-time.
Summer at Boutique, Fall banking internship, Spring PE internship, & keep networking.
If you had that many rounds and didn't make it through to anything, make sure your interviewing skills are up to par. As a non-target myself, I needed to make sure I was more polished, eloquent, and generally well-spoken than my target-school counterparts who were interviewing against me. I've long stood by the idea that the interview is a level playing field and you have far more control on the outcome than you think based on how you present yourself. Make sure you come across as a candidate anyone, not just a bank, would want to hire and that you're representing yourself to the highest degree possible. Happy to elaborate more
Is Stifel HR notorious for some reason?
Assuming you are referring to next summer (2021)? They're probably done recruiting by now...
I know for a fact Miller Buckfire posted their job only about a month ago and I've been reaching out since then so I'm pretty sure they're not done. If someone can refute this please do.
they are done
Yes I'm referring to summer 2021
One of my best friends is an analyst at MB. It’s a lean shop. He was actually supposed to be a Stifel Analyst, but when covid his they deferred 30% of their incoming class until June of 21. They gave that 30% an option: be an oil and gas analyst in Texas, or recruit for MB. 7 people from the Stifel 30% went for 1 position at MB and thankfully he got it.
Point is, I wouldn’t be surprised if MB has closed the window for now. Tough times.
