IB Recruiting Open Secrets / Unwritten Rules
Wanted to know what you'll thought about open secrets / unwritten rules in the IB recruitment process in regards to technical concepts, networking calls, and correct answers in interviews. If I hadn't joined a club in college I would have had no idea.
"I don't need no bullshit answers either" lol who are u bro
I think one thing that often gets overlooked is changing your name legally to align with the current banks you are applying too. Looking to go early Season to a top EB/BB, a quick legal name change to Chadwick/Bradford/Charles can help get you over the line. Not to mention a strong last name can get you far too.
Lost out on top tier recruiting, and need to go slum it in the LMM recruiting pool. A quick change to Timmy, Bobby, etc. can really help you connect with your interviewers. Filing fees are sub $250 in most states, I would bake in a grand through your summers to cover this fee a few times over.
Remember, become the person they want to hire, not the shitty college kid that you are.

Would recommend this. I had changed my name to Morgan Stanley before interviewing. Unfortunately that and John Pierpont Morgan didn’t work and I didn’t get the role. However, 3rd time was the charm and I now go by Goldman Sachs, but my team usually calls me Sachsie.
Cool man
Lots of places have a list of kids who they think will be competitive in recruiting before applications even open. Some even tier kids beforehand as well - basically like a depth chart. These lists get developed through referrals and networking conversations, and so most kids are ahead/behind before they even know it.
Re depth chart - this makes total sense…this is something I didn’t fully appreciate until networking with others….and still has been a struggle and daily knife fight.
Is this more for EBs or BBs?
BofA specifically does an invite only dinner based on networking at my school
