Quant resume in HK IBD recruiting
Hi all,
I'm a rising senior studying in US who was late to the game of IBD recruiting, which means for my junior summer I did not have an internship offer secured at a BB/EB. However I did gain some experience in IBD by networking to secure some internships at smaller banks.
I know that HK recruiting is different in the sense that you can first go to grad school and then recruit as an intern analyst, and that's what I plan on doing. However, I know that there are "target programs" for HK IBD such as MIT Mfin/Princeton MFE/CMU MFE etc. that are honestly very quantitative. I have 1 year left until applying for grad school (I plan on deferring graduation by 1 year) and I'm trying to prep my way into one of these programs by doing some quant internships/projects. However, even if I get into one of these programs, my resume would become quite quant-heavy. Does anyone know if this would negatively impact IBD recruitment? Or if anyone has had the experience of transferring from quant to IBD, I would highly appreciate if you can share your experience!

In summary, while a quant-heavy resume might initially seem misaligned with IBD, leveraging your quantitative skills, networking effectively, and gaining relevant finance experience can position you well for HK IBD recruiting.
