Hello guys, I'm a French student and I just graduated from a bachelor degree in Economics, management and law in June (grades of 15,67/20,which seems to be a 4.0). I will join a 3rd tier business school in France (Skema, Audencia, Grenoble) for a Programme Grande École (master program in business school France) and I'm looking for an off cycle position in London in ECM, DCM or LevFin. I already have 3 good experience but only one finance related : -5 months intern as a financial analyst at the Banque De France (France Central Bank), where I analyze companies financial and extra financial reports to rate them (its a mix between valuation, rating, economic research). -3 months in a HR cabinet (the consulting division of a big HR group, tailor made recruitment). Nothing financial, but good learning experience in PPT presentations, and in depth customer service. -3 years of Junior Entreprise, 1,5 as president a student association who works like a consulting cabinet (we sell market studies, quantitative researches...). I saved the ass of the JE by myself and I recruited a team of 15 guys. In 4 months, 60k turnover, nothing big but good for students. - I am working for 2 years on a start up project (a fintech) . I have the national student entrepreneur status.-Add to that summer job to win money, 3 months in a cinema + 9 years of a team sport at the highest national level in junior team (+ highest amateur level in senior team) - I speak 4 languages (French, English, Spanish, Chinese) -I can use tableau, R, Python Realistically, what are my chance to get an Off-Cycle? I just saw the JPM offers, but apart from Laz/Rot, there aren't a lot of things. I can network like a spider if needed.Is this good enough for LevFin or ECM? One last thing, I can apply as a diversity student, even though I don't think it will improve my chances (unless I contact people from minorities). Sorry if I was too long!What are your thoughts?
