Investment Banking - A Guide

Alright boys, I wasn't going to make a post until the summer was over but the banks have lost their god damn mind and we're in full swing recruiting season already. Two years ago it was reasonable and would be January of your junior year, then last year it became October. We joked that it was getting pushed up way too quickly and that the banks were going to start recruiting sophomores one day. Yet here the fuck we are this year. For some of you it's already too late unfortunately, some kids already have offers.showbox

I know this stuff because I'm at a bulge bracket investment bank. Don't send me your resume, don't ask for stock picks etc etc. Just don't. If you have questions make a separate post and people on here will help. Ok now to the guide usps tracking
