From what I understand, unless you go to a target school, you have to network a sh**load with people in banking, to have any shot of landing an ibanking job after you graduate.
And even if you put in all that time and effort networking, theres only a very slim chance that it will all amount to anything.
Because of that, it seems that unless I am DEAD SET on ibanking like its the end of the world if I dont get in, I am better off spending my spare time doing something else...
your thoughts?
ps. i study business at a top 25 ug school
stop being a bitch and do it. im a chemistry major and networked extensively. got multiple interviews with bulge brackets and legit boutiques.
takes time to do it, i spent several months networking extensively. some people start a year ahead of schedule. do what you have to do man, dont give up just because your school isnt a target. finance is easy to learn and they know you dont have to go to harvard to know it. they just have the ability to pick from the best schools given the small amount of jobs.
Yes you are better off trying your chances on something else. IB is doing horrible right now and the future is even more bleak. good luck
become a farmer.
Posts like this are stupid. Yes, you have to network a lot. If you start early or network well, it does not have to be the bane of your existence. If you study for interviews well, your chances are not "very slim". If you are at a T25 school, you have more than enough BB alumni who can help you out. Long story short, if you want it, act like you want it, stop bitching, and do it.
But is all the time spent networking rendered completely useless if in the end you don't end up with an IBD offer?
