IB requirements
I want to ask about the requirements of IB. Particularly, how can the applicants increase their chances if they are coming from non-target school, have average GPA and mediocre internship experience? Also, does the trading track record increase significantly the likelihood of getting the job? Thanks
Big No to trading track record. Wouldn’t bring it up
thanks, could you elaborate on it?
Elaboration: Don't talk about it at all, don't bring it up, don't use it, pretend like you don't trade. Unless you're trading for investors who've given you a good bit of capital, it not only doesn't matter but makes you look like you don't know what IB is. S&T is the only place in the bank where you buy or sell securities, and being in IB actually will do more to restrict your ability to trade than anything.
Get better grades, take a wall st prep course, have stellar refs. ignore trading unless you have models to back up your trades
thanks, btw what is stellar refs? I googled it couldn’t find properly what it was.
they mean a good reference

Network, network, network. Realizing you don't have the advantage is the first step. Work to make sure you have something about you that can help you stand out. Try to increase your GPA (maybe take some easy classes - they're not going to check your transcript that extensively).
At this point, because you can't change too many things like grades or internships or where you go to school, one of the main ways you can still stand out and land interviews is networking. If you build the right relationships and come across like you know what you're talking about, then you can land an interview and then it's up to you to prepare so well that you knock the interview out of the park!
