I'll be fine, right?
I am interested in a career in investment banking / high finance, but I know little about the normal career path. I am a current senior at a non-target (community college), with a low GPA (sub 2.5), no job experience (no job ever), and practically no connections or network.
However, I am 6'6''. I'll be fine right? Like at a minimum I can land at an LMM?
Any comments or insights would be greatly appreciated.
Though the GPA and non-target don't do you a favor, def still a chance if you're a people person w that height IMO. My buddy didn't even know what ib was and just hit it off well with another MD who was like 6'4 (my friend was 6'5) and he pretty much strolled into the job. But network your ass off cause you have to get in person for that to happen.
Is this how people feel about white privilege?
Set your targets higher king
Do you mean a BB?
This is the one post I wish the bot had responded to
I think the bot responds only when no one else comments for a certain amount of time.

6’5”+ and you auto get IB jobs
You can either get analyst at an EB/BB or skip over analyst and get hired directly as an associate at a LMM.
Bonus points if you’re athletic and get recruited from community college to play at a better university with NCAA D1 sports.
If you’re 6’6 you should be aiming above Middle Market since you’re above market average in height. In your case I think a few years at FTP would serve you well since they pay the HIGHEST base
How much is their base? Never seen anything on here about it
