First post! ...looking for advice.
Hi everybody,
Overview-
Not to sound demanding or anything, I am curious if I can get personal advice for entering an S&T program given my stats. I have read all of the "Day in the life" articles and listened to the sales and trading podcast.
2012 B.S. in Business Administration, with an emphasis in International Business.
Weighing in-
Dings:
Lacking finance internships
Non-target school with 3.1 GPA (top regional institution)
Positives:
Related coursework in corporate finance, financial accounting, managerial accounting, and applied business statistics (regression etc).
"Name brand" 10 month internship in market research (possible ding, but have experience working for a particular 500 company)
Extrovert, like to meet everyone, personable, business acumen
Expressed interest in finance outside of the classroom. I enjoy reading news/technical articles related to finance and banking.
Desired interviews-
RBS Sales Analyst Program
Wells Fargo's Sales and Trading Analyst Program
Any thoughts or recommendations?
Thank you,
Eric
I might not be the best source, but if you want to get into a BB I think your GPA is a little low (esp for nontarget)....
Getting into a smaller shop might be easier
You already graduated?
Correct me if I'm wrong but S&T tends to look for more STEM (science, tech, engineering, math) majors typically from what I've researched.
I'd say start networking and contacting people, come up with a solid story for why you want to do this and why your GPA is not the greatest. Also, how non-target are we speaking? Please don't say University of Phoenix...
Is it possible? For sure, but you gotta work your ass for it now.
