Just Graduated No Job
Been using WSO for all 4 years of college with no account, so this is my first post. Just Graduated a from a target with an Econ degree but not the business school located in NYC (do the math). I was an athlete and did a bunch of internships and have a GPA 3.0 (which has never come up in any interview). I've done internships with Oil research firm, treasury desk, and equity hf with 200m AUM (no big names except for a mentorship program). I've been applying and got some solid interviews but haven't sealed the deal. I have gotten to the next round for every interview I've done, yet still have managed to come up empty handed. I need advice on how to network more effectively and ultimately land my first analyst job. I want to work at a HF in an analyst role but apply to literally everything. I can't keep sitting around waiting in my parents house. I'd appreciate any advice and please be blunt.
You could've just said you go to NYU
It's hard to land a buyside job out of undergrad especially with a low GPA and in this shit storm covid has dealt us. I would recommend you pursue ER at a mm boutique for now. Asset/PWM might also be interesting for you, and have lower barriers to entry. I'm not going to sugarcoat it, the job market is shit right now.

What are your strategies for recruiting? Off cycle entry level IB and ER roles are hard to come by. How are you getting interviews. I’m just getting lucky and getting my resume pulled.
Just posted this offer in a diff thread, only theyre a rising soph. I feel like your situation is more dire in need
I see posts like this all the time. You can work on ("beta test") exercises I created for an online course in this space. And discuss w/ me after, give feedback, ask Q's. If you are serious about gaining a skillset, to put on your resume and discuss in interviews, and are willing to put in the work, and keep coming to me for more, it can be as valuable as you desire of it being. For example, once you acquire the knowledge / skillset in an exercise - you can maybe create Example #2 for a different company / transaction, using the existing layout / format.
Sorry but don’t understand how this helps. I’m willing to learn more though.
