What to do as Senior?
I’m curious besides for classes and social lives what other seniors are doing. Are you are prepping for on-cycle or are you all studying for the gmat for deferred mba? Any recommended resources if so? I’m an incoming analyst at a mid tier MM like RJ, piper, cowen so am not sure I’d even get looks in on-cycle due to targets being MM PE
Ripping bowls and fading class
If I go back I would do the following:
1. Prep for GMAT for the first semester of senior year and try to get a good score while maintaining a good social life / steady GPA. Live a little but also having a good GMAT score basically gives you a good insurance policy in case in few years you completely burn out and need an expensive vacation (i.e. prob me right now after PE). Not sure of prepping deferred MBA as they are more focused on non-finance people but do your research on this (especially HBS/GSB)
2. Prep for on cycle using various resources (WSO/peak frameworks/BIWS, etc.) on your spring semester so it is fresh in your mind when recruiting starts inevitably earlier than last year and you don't have to cram.
3. If you feel pretty burnt out due to last couple of years of recruiting work, be gentle to yourself and relax during your senior year. It is probably one of last years of your life before corporate world where you can actually relax without worrying about actual real world stuff.
Good luck!
Thank you!
I would 1000% in hindsight prepare for on cycle, even if you wont get a MF from a MM bank you can still land somewhere nice if youre educated and it will only get harder after
Do MM PE firms even do on cycle though?
Recommend enrolling in AARP, great benefits
.
Honestly, this is probably the last bit of free time you'll have, so I'd suggest 2 things.
Thanks!
