Recruiting is brutal for Asian men

30ish junior interns this upcoming class, only 1 Asian dude who predictably has 4.0 from Wharton and perfect test scores. Rest of the class is several tiers below. Struggle is real.

Investment Banking Career Roadmap (optional)

“Parsita was extremely helpful with providing me a detailed breakdown on the different areas of an investment bank, from which I was able to gain a greater understanding into which areas I would like to focus on. She also was able to provide me a breakdown of the areas within sales and traading. Overall the meeting was extremely helpful and insightful, I would definitely reccomend her to anyone else who would like to gain a up to date, in industry, understanding of areas within IB. In particular which areas are growing more than others.”

Investment Banking LinkedIn Review

“My mentor was very helpful, and I appreciated how efficiently she moved through my review. She gave me a great deal of immediate, practical help, so I could apply her suggestions right away. She also resolved my concern about being seen as too bold on LinkedIn. Her guidance gave me confidence in how I present myself and reach out to professionals in my field. Her feedback was clear and specific, and her pace kept the session productive from start to finish. I left with a stronger understanding of how to approach LinkedIn and networking. I recommend her to any student who wants direct, efficient feedback.”
