2024 SA Recruiting Thread

Don’t mind me. Just creating this thread for the high school junior looking to land an SA position at a BB/EB ;)

But seriously, this shit’s getting out of hand. I swear if I hear a high school freshman ever say something like EBITDA or DCF, I’m smacking them across the face. Live a little LMAO. Anyway, I just wanted to say hope all the prospects and bankers out there are doing alright in these times :) To the prospects, all I can say is chill out a little. A lot of people in banking were able to get here while still maintaining a life - your college life now doesn’t have to be finance. It will be once you start working!
