RX Investment Banking? ROAST MY RESUME
Hi all,
I’m highly interested in restructuring and want to know if it’s realistic to pursue RX full-time roles despite having no prior IB internships.
Feel free to roast my resume, no need to sugar-coat. If it's not competitive, I'd rather know now.
For context, I’m a rising senior at a non-target university. Resume is below (personal details redacted).
Sorry to break it to you but you would be hard pressed getting a FT interview at even the boutique rx ib firms. Your best bet is probably finding some role related to rx consulting, perhaps the big4 and then lateralling to a better rx co
And then? Lateral from RX Co to RX IB? Is that usually done?
Would never want to say something's impossible, but assuming you mean RX IB at anything beyond LMM you are candidly in for an arduous, uphill battle. There's attention to detail mistakes that would get you kicked out before the process even starts - wouldn't list a case comp title as investment analyst as well. Assuming you want to go for FT 26, your resume needs to have perfect formatting, you will need to make a good impression with someone on the team with recruiting pull, and you would have to know what's everything publicly available about RX technicals cold - but just know as is, you'd have a tough time even getting a response to an email
Keep grinding, nothing's impossible, but spending time RX recruiting probably wont be the best use of your time. Where you start won't define you. If you want it bad enough I'd think about moving grad back a semester or getting a FT offer from something you can lateral from or looking at RX consulting or continuing in tech then MBA or just staying in tech
Sorry for hijacking the thread lol, but what can you do after getting into RX Consulting? Lateral into RX IB?
R u abt to start a rx co role or something? Or just see it as an easier target than rx ib.
Well no, I'm still interested in RX IB, but am curious about RX co as well, and wanted to see what ppl in RX IB / PE think about the difficulty / ease lateraling from that to RX IB, and what straighforward exits the field has. Assuming no MBA.
aepi ft recruiting wishing you luck
I personally prefer commas instead of pipes (these things: |). Reorder the bottom title to be skills, certifications and interests because that’s the order they appear. Rename it to just skills and not technical skills so it’s consistent with top. Don’t link anything because no one is probably going to click on it and it looks weird when you print your resume out. Don’t use periods at the ends of bullets. Don’t use / for dates I’ve never seen that before.
I’m also just an intern to be fair. Feel free to disagree.
