Is it too late for Ib
Recently took a job at Family office that’s also a publicly traded company in nyc. They offer various services from wealth management,insurance, trading,stock loan,etc… they are also paying for my finra tests and in this job market it’s tough and I took the job. I really wanted ib specifically something on the debt/Levfin side. I went to a non target with 3.56 gpa while also playing division 1 baseball. I had a final round interview with a boutique but didn’t get it and have been applying to risk roles like credit and market risk and had a first round and at BB and have been waiting for a few weeks now, from what I have read those roles are very transferable. I was wondering what advice anyone had anything would be appreciated.
Tough spot bruv, would suggest to get anything you can prepare for your gmat and make the switch post mba
Start networking with IB people in debt/LefFin asking for advice. Keep reaching out, even if you get advice from five people and it starts repeating, keep reaching out with the same excuse of getting advice. Just form connections, if it goes well, ask them if you can stay in touch or reach out in the future. Then keep emailing them every month either updating them sth special (like getting your finra or maybe sth else that is relevant) and asking if they'll be hiring soon.
Casting a wide net across banks and being persistent.
Once market picks up and they are hiring they will either reach out to you themselves or let you know they're hiring in your monthly check ins and then you get a first round with a really good impression because of your persistence. As long as you don't mess up the interviews, you're in.
I know folks who broke in at 28-30 as Analysts. So it's never too late. And there's always MBA as a backup, but is fucking costly.
