Looking for IB job in DC/NOVA area
So I've been working for a year and 4 months for a small investment consulting firm that specializes in futures/options trading. I have a 3.4 GPA from George Mason so basically I have non-traditional experience and from a non target school. Do you think it is possible for me to land an IB job still? If so what are some good firms and staffing agencies/recruiters in the area I could reach out to? Any advice is appreciated
