Still on the job hunt...need advice
I have been job searching since late Jan/early Feb (I studied abroad fall term which hurt my search a lot). I am a finance and marketing major at a non-target, I have a decent GPA (major GPA is above 3.5), and have had two 6-month internships - one at a respected trading firm on their convertible bonds desk (booking trades, answering calls, etc) and another at an Asset Management firm on their managed accounts trading desk (running reports, working on automation, confirming trades, allocations, etc).
Both experiences were in more ops-related roles, but gave me great exposure to the finance world. I am interested in a career in institutional sales or an analyst/junior portfolio manager role at an asset management firm. I know hiring season is way over and I am just looking to break into a decent operations job and work towards my CFA to move in the right position.
I have been networking with alumni from my college and my HS (HS is well-connected) since August 2012, but nothing substantial has come from this. Applying online seems useless and I've received very little traction from LinkedIn jobs, Indeed, etc. My career services offices has little-to-no jobs that would get me going in the right direction. If anyone out there has a bit of advice as to where to look, who may be hiring still, etc. I would appreciate it more then ever. I have been primarily searching in NYC and Boston (family in both, my school is in neither).
I graduate in June and don't want to get my diploma unemployed.
Sincerely,
A struggling senior looking to work hard and prove his worth
Try prop firms in NYC or Chicago. They are still interviewing at least for SA roles.
Much appreciate Beny23 but Im not trying to go back to trading firms...looking more toward asset management, pwm, or research firms (for IS)
Cold network and cold call outside of alumni. I'm also at a non target and I have had great success for non ib roles.
