SA IBD 2015

Had a bunch of Super-days but nothing has worked out. At this point willing to work anywhere; started my own business which did well, so I am able to work for free. Coming from a Semi-Target in finance program, with a strong GPA and decent past experience. Really want to break in the industry. Feel free to PM me.

Thanks!

posting on WSO isn't going to help. Start cold calling boutiques, SA is not the end of the line whatsoever. Make yourself the best possible candidate for FT recruiting and continue hitting the phones, make multiple trips to NYC. I must have had interview with 10 different banks this last year and only got 1 offer, but that 1 offer is all that it takes. Keep your head up and keep grinding.

 

Thanks for your response. I have been shooting off ton of emails but no responses. In terms of cold calling, what position within the organization would you suggest calling.

For the lead! Sipag, tiyaga, at lakas ng loob!
