Should I send an advanced model to bankers as a recruiting tactic?
I am a student at the Univeristy of Texas, and for the capstone class of my Spanish minor I choose to write about NAFTA and to built out an advanced model that analyzes its impact on Mexico and the US.
Last week I had two first round interviews: one top boutique and one middle market bank. Should I send my interviewers the model to show my capability? Would that be perceived as too much?
Also, over the summer I networked with a bunch of emerging markets / Latin American coverage groups. Would it be a good tactic to send the model and the paper (35 pages in Spanish) to some the guys that I talked to?
Getting late in the game and I am ready for a nibble to become a bite.
Don't do this. Your model is likely nowhere near as "advanced" as you think, people have no way of determining whether you actually built it and likely no one has the patience, time or interest to review the model to work out if it's well constructed or junk.
To add to SSits point, it also shows a complete lack of understanding of how to appropriately behave, and in a relationship business like banking a lot of those bankers will immediately cut someone for that.
DUDE! bankers won't spend more than 1 minute looking at your CV, do you seriously think they're going to read a 35 pages report that you wrote and are so proud of? You model wis likely nowhere as "advanced" as you think compared to IBD models, so chill .. you're doing it all wrong man, just forget that idea ever crossed your mind
Thanks for the perspective. Just trying looking for ways to stand out - I will keep looking! haha
Yah, don't do this.
I wouldn't do this either.
Also, how did you have first round interviews last week? Aren't all MM and BB banks done?
nobody is going to be spend 1 min going through your model. However, do mention it in the interviews as a way to show your skills.
Your interviewers don't give a shit about your model, and even if they did, there's no way for them to know you made it.
