FT Recruiting – Profile Check & Advice
Hey everyone, looking for some honest feedback on my profile and targets heading into FT recruiting.
Background:
Rising senior at a semi-target, double major in Finance & CS, 3.4 GPA
Sophomore year: ~8-month corp dev internship at a gaming firm
Junior year (current): intern at a lower-middle-market REPE firm
Targets:
Primarily looking at MM real estate and gaming groups (IB) and REPE, but open to anything that makes sense given my background.
Questions for the group:
Is MM RE IB or REPE realistic given my profile? Do repe firms even ft out of undergrad? curious how competitive those spots actually are coming from a semi-target with a 3.4.
Should I be broadening my targets? Open to DCM/Capital Market, CMBS origination, or other groups, would love to hear if those are a better fit or easier to break into with my background.
Any specific firms, groups, or roles I should prioritize or avoid?
Appreciate any input. Not trying to be picky here, at the end of the day I just don't want to be unemployed after graduation. Trying to be realistic and strategic about where I'm spending energy this summer/fall.
