Guys, I'm hearing about people getting invited to Super-days left and right and getting offers already in the process.
I was an SA in Equities (IPOs/FOs, etc) this summer at a MM, and Equities while it was under IB the group was organized separately and basically didn't give out any offers due to the headcount.
However, I assume I did well and I have the head of Equities as my reference and I took the opportunity to meet 20+ bankers at the bank and met someone from every single group. The ED in charge of recruitment told me to keep in touch and I may or may not be invited to interview for a superday during fall FT recruitment.
However, I e-mailed her about 5 times now and she still hasn't replied to me. In the meantime I been hitting the phones for other banks. I've been targeting the MMs but most of the banks I had leads on like Jefferies and BNP all told me they are only hiring their own interns this year. Other banks I call up refuse to get me in touch or give me the name of the HR person in charge of IBD recruitment.
I got a paying internship at a good FIG boutique in the city I go to college in (No. 1 FIG team for MM specialty finance in No. of deals) and there may be a shot of getting hired here if I do well enough. But this isn't New York and I feel if I start at a Boutique I will never be able to move up to a larger New York Bank.
My questions is: 1.) What should be my game plan? Keep trying to cold-call and reach out to HR departments and send my resume (Keep hitting gate-keepers) ? What else can I do?
2.) How do you cold-call these banks / how do you get the name of the HR person in charge of recruitment?
3.) Is it too late? Are most banks already done and dusted with full-time recruitment? Are most super-days in October or September?
4.) Am I screwed? I understand I'm in a terrible position with most people in a much better position than I am right now. I intern at a FIG team with the other intern from Georgetown with an offer from CS Industrials already. He is set. I'm guessing most people are like that right now.
It's too late for BBs, superdays wrap up end of this week. Still plenty of hiring action in MMs but you need to move ASAP
