Q&A: Broke in from Non-target, want to do an AMA

Hi guys I broke in from a non-target, just signed IB NYC FT 2022 at BB. Please ask any questions, I want to answer a bunch and give back. This platform was amazing for me when I was recruiting and want to give it back

What did the process of networking look like for you? I struggle with this also from a non-target because my school doesn’t have a strong alumni base in NY.

Did you just cold-LinkedIn individuals? Would love any insights you have into getting networking & being able to break through the resume screen without a target school!

 

Lmao an AMA because you managed to get an FT offer? Just write your story like everyone else in one post rather than pretending that people care enough to interview you

 

Lmao I agree. Congrats on the offer but anything u could possibly ask will be searchable on WSO. It’s especially easy breaking into IB as diversity nowadays.
