Getting absolutely no interviews at all for 2021 SA
Currently a student at a non-target (although still well known school) with a 3.9+ GPA and good internships. However, I am not getting interviews (first rounds or superdays) at any firms at all. I've been networking aggressively and a lot of bankers mention that they will pass over my name to HR or see if they can do something for me. However, I have yet to receive any interviews or overall interest for a firm. How do I improve on this situation and what would you recommend me to do moving forward? I know all 2021 SA is not done yet, but most EBs are done, and my chances of landing a BB from a non-target seems slim. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you.
How many firms did you network with and how many people total have you spoken to thus far? This sounds highly unusual even for a non-target. Also, which firms have you been networking with? Kinda like with colleges, you gotta have reach/match/safeties
Following the above comment, why are you also not networking with MM firms? Especially coming from a non target you should absolutely be casting a wide net.
I would say just keep sending out applications and keep networking. From my experience at a non-target, it’s just a numbers game. I applied to probably over 100 different jobs for my junior year internship last year and had maybe 10 first round interviews(and about half of those were the math tests for quant trading firms so not even interviews) and three super days. I also secured my internship at a BB in IB in late September so you have time. I was also invited to a superday in an ER internship at at top BB at the beginning of October. So you have time but just keep applying and networking.
