Advice for recruiting into IB as a rising senior with 0 IB experience
First, thanks to everyone on this forum for providing genuine and useful advice.
My Background:
Economics & business finance student at semi-target school (rising senior)
Interned on a private wealth management team at UBS
Currently interning at a middle market merchant bank on their business development (PE deal sourcing/origination) team
My Situation:
I worked hard to break into IB as a summer analyst this summer but fell short (made it to 2 super days) and it was late into recruiting so I took an internship I could. Have been networking within it and working hard but do not want to stay in a business development role. It is not very quantitative, but I have developed great qualitative skills throughout the internship (basic due diligence, creating pitches & presentations, cold calling, etc.)
I have been studying technicals again and doing some networking with IB firms (previous connections & new) but am not really progressing in the process.
My Questions:
I would be willing to take a summer analyst position post-grad and learn as much as possible, proving myself during the summer. Is this something I should mention during any calls?
General advice for putting my best foot forward into IB analyst interviews as I have no prior IB experience.
Is IB out of reach / should I target smaller more niche banks?
Any better strategies for networking/breaking in as a soon to be graduate?
Any general feedback / advice / assistance / professionals willing to take a quick call and provide any insight to my current situation would be greatly appreciated.
