Looking for Career Advice (Genuine)
I have recently applied to SA26 positions and now that the season is largely over, I am stuck with nothing. Not sure what I am doing wrong, as (to give context):
- Target school, 4.0 GPA
- active + leadership roles in investing clubs (with successful pitches), M&A club, and other leadership positions
- know the technicals and make models (alongside the investing club)
- networked
Obviously I cannot disclose too much, but here are the rounds that I got to:
- Fidelity ER, 2 rounds in
- Union Square, 3 rounds in
- Point72 & Weiss AM, past case study/to case study
- HVs here and there but did not pass any of the HVs (eg JPM, GS...)
I didn't think I was even too bad at interviews, my friend sat thru one and said it seemed to go well right before I got rejected (HR, not technical at all).
What do you recommend doing? I am genuinely so passionate about this and I know my grades and school are good, I know that my analysis cannot be that bad considering my investments and pitches have been solid... I feel lost and distraught, especially considering many people I know got so much further and they don't even know how to do a DCF. How should I change things up? My goal is ultimately HF (for comp but mainly because it seems so much more interesting than IB/private markets). Please send serious recommendations, thank you!
