Acquiring an analyst position
Guys,
How do the larger, more reputable banks look upon a recent graduate applying for an analyst position? I have a very solid GPA from an excellent school and good experience. After considerable, thought, I've decided I'd like to pursue a stint in banking. Any thoughts are welcome.
Cheers
how recent is recent?

they'll wonder where were you a year ago.
For someone who isn't even an i-banker, you seem to be pretty self-aggrandizing.
It's unfortunate that not all of us can have your scope knowledge acquired by hours and hours of lurking.
I graduated in May '06 and have a job at a commercial real estate lender. The pay is fine and the hours are great, but I don't feel like I'm being challenged as I would be if I were working for an i-bank. Also, I'm afraid of the general notion that job growth/advancement in commercial banking is notoriously slow and unrewarding.
I have a 3.45 and majored in financial economics from a semi-target (Top 10 liberal arts school). What are my chances of getting into a BB? 1st tier? west coast?
does anyone know how heavily ones GPA is weighed in measuring the merits of a candidate? This relative to the school and work experiences the candidate also holds.
GPA is important, but if yours is not good then just leave it out of the resume.
