Lost in IB - Can’t land a job
I have been applying to iB for the past 6months. So far I only got 2 interviews of which I made it to the 3rd round. I have a undergrad degree in Actuarial science and masters in finance but no internship or work experience in the industry. I was trying get a fall internship but there doesn't seem to be limited options. Never felt this lost in my life. I could do with your advice. Please help.
I also have a Masters in finance, not a bad degree to have in BB. Had no internships or placements before I started and had to travel / interview / hustle a fair bit to get it done. Not impossible, but can be done if:
1) you are organized (write everything down, get feedback, etc)
2) don't give up, apply everywhere (if NYC is full, ask for referrals in other locations like Chicago, Charlotte, etc)
3) use your network more, ask every single person you know for a resume push
4) have a plan B. Mine was to move to another country in order to work in BB. yours might be different.
Best of luck to you.
Thanks for the advice. I have been applying to a lot of places and making use of my recently developed network. I guess I just have to keep pushing
If your profile/school/candidature isn't good enough you either have to work in a different location or in a different field.
Or, you don't interview well, which is a very subjective thing anyway. We had candidates nobody was impressed by, hired them anyway and they perform well.
Been reading your comments for a while. Quite interesting and insightful in general. We exchanged a few comments under the thread "economics of a 7/11 store". I'm the OP of that thread.
I remember you! Thanks for your positive comment.
Generally, I always wonder what happened to the people commenting on SMB threads. Did they ever buy that gas station? Was that laundromat ever opened? I think most people are too risk averse to quit IB and do their own thing. For most it is just too much salary to throw away.
