Still looking for 2023 SA IB position. Am I screwed?
I'm a junior at a west coast target. Currently have been heavily recruiting NY but am open to anything. Still have no offers or openings for a 2023 SA role. Semi-decent work experience but have a low gpa (dropped to a 3.1 from a 3.9) given a death of my close family member causing lots of travel / distraction. I am still recruiting hard but just cannot seem to hit anything. Am i screwed? Any advice is appreciated
Go on LinkedIn, there some spots still open at some of the more well known shops. If not, there’s always the regional boutiques that you can lateral from afterward
Scotia NY apps open until 10/27, and a few other mm's. I would check socgen, ubs, nomura, regionals, or a strong noname that you can intern at while trying to recruit FT at a bigger place.
Alternatively, you can extend your schooling for a semester and recruit for 2024 SA. Kind've a goated move and you can find another corp fin internship for summer 23'. This is a notable opportunity cost, but if executed well you will put yourself in a better position than other SAs.
Not even close. I have seen people land at solid shops in March of their junior year.
How?
How?
Probably solid shops as in non-BB/EB. Not a lot, but quite a few banks recruit until spring
A lot of the linked in postings are old postings that auto-refresh. I'd be careful using that for info. have seen positions filled for weeks or months that just keep showing up on LI as a new posting
I agree that recruiting for 2024 SA might be a decent bet. maybe recruit into mid-nov and then if you have no solid leads push grad a semester and hit the trail on networking. it's very reasonable to say you pushed back because of a death in the family, having to travel a lot for that etc
