Help please
Little background I’m a rising junior, solid GPA, underground target school, just recently got my shit together, first gen college student and I have basically completely missed every application for IB. I have good connections at the ones still open but if I don’t land an internship there no clue what I’m going to do. I do not want to work in CF. Do I try for a smaller bank or small PE and rely on my connections to help me when I graduate? Also not trying to be that guy but I was going through some heavy family stuff during recruitment and just wasn’t exposed and had no idea what I wanted in life yet so don’t hate on me. Just let me know what you guys think my best bet is.
I’m in the same boat, I go to a non-target and all the IB alumni from my school also got into IB late (sophomore/junior). Some got into lower MM banks, but a lot went boutique and then did FT recruitment. They’ve told me to try for boutique and then go for FT recruitment, and that I should try for an internship every semester until FT recruitment, because at that point they need to know you can do the job and will be much more technical then an SA role. So bottom line, go for boutique banks and gain experience to FT recruit.
Thanks for sharing. I have a few calls coming up with other IB alums and I’m sure they’ll tell me the same thing. I’m just feeling a little defeated and like I should’ve been more prepared. Hoping the FT recruiting route will pan out for us.
Of course! Also I’ve been told the market and deal flow should be up by the time FT recruiting comes so should be better opportunities to FT recruit for us than the past couple years! And most of the boutique banks haven’t started recruiting yet, they’ll probably start August/September - December! Best of luck!
what about delaying grad and rerecruiting
Wtf is an underground target school just say semi-target, same flow as calling a dishwasher an underwater ceramic technician
It’s what an article called it realized I shouldn’t have called it that after I posted thanks for the input though beast
