Need advice... Citi GTS vs TFA?
So I am a college senior who is 100% about ibanking but I realized this after my junior year and unfortunately did not land any summer internships with banks this past summer. My past experiences have all been with non-profts, so it is kind of hard to spin that experience as well. I have a 3.3 from an ivy
So I have 2 options:
1) Citi GTS: Not even sure what I would be doing exactly, but I like the opp to have 1 year abroad
2) TFA: They talk about corporate partnerships with banks, is it true? Does anyone actually know if people go into ibanking? Or do they end up in bo roles? I figure that even if I dont get a summer internship with GS, JMP, I would have the summer between first and second year of teaching to get any summer internship with a bank....
I would really appreciate any advice!
Citi GTS is exceedingly broad; it is like saying Citi Institutional Clients Group. I have heard of people doing everything from internal strategy to fund accounting.
As for TFA: if you do not want to be a teacher, don't do it. Please. It's like medicine; you should have a passion for it. You will be teaching at risk youths in horrible conditions for little pay. There are easier ways into finance. A MFin, maybe?
And, while it looks great on just about any application, you would probably be doing those kids a disservice if you were using it as a stepping stone to banking.
Citi GTS is pretty legit. They have decent hours and money. If you work hard and network well, you should be able to move around later on but it will set you up with decent bschool opps on it's own. I'm not sure what it would be transferable to, maybe corp treasury.
If you are "100% about banking", but have no finance experience, your interviewers will sense a disconnect between what you say and what you do. You need to be able to show them you are interested, not just say it.
You can show them by having finance experience on your resume.
Search the boards "Citi GTS" returns lots of results. All in all, I'd say you can make it a career that has work life balance and tops out around 200k; you can move to another position within Citi after your two years (probably not M&A but ECM or CMO wouldn't be a stretch); or go into corp finance / treasury.
Thanks a ton, I will definitely check it out!
