Is a Search Fund Even Enough for Banking Recruiting?
I’m a freshman at Columbia/Chicago/Penn/Duke.
Been hearing that having search fund experience on your resume when you’re recruiting for banking isn’t enough to get top banks anymore. Is this bullshit or true? Would appreciate any advice.
Also, do non-diversity target kids with a 3.9+ and some experience end up getting interviews at almost all the banks they apply to? I honestly have no idea on whether someone with those credentials would end up getting, say, 7 first-round interviews, or 16.
Doesn't really matter man. No banker is ever impressed by any of these starter internships. Put this energy into meeting people and being well-liked.
This. Doesn’t matter. As long as you have 1-2 finance related internships, it doesn’t matter, so long as you can speak intelligently and articulately about them to make it sound like you did something valuable
Congrats on Duke!
(1) Congrats on Duke.
(2) It helps, but mainly as the job you take after your first year (ie - summer going into sophomore year). But this is largely just a check-the-box thing.
As a random side note I need 1-2 search fund interns if there’s anyone looking for a light internship 2-3 months before summer. Been trying to go through my alma matter but Handshake is being hella annoying with having to provide an EIN/verify you are an employer to post roles (even though the head of career services gave me permission lmao).
Uhhh has that ever been enough?
