Hey monkeys,
From talking with people in the finance industry (especially IB, my interest) about recruiting, a specific motivation seems really important (ex: why banking? why GS S+T) to landing either an SA or FT spot.
The problem is the same people who tell me most people are sick of the same stupid answers ($, prestige, the challenge) keep giving me those answers when I ask them.

I had the same problem. Once I got my summer internship, however, it became crystal clear to me what I liked/didn't like about finance industry. In my case, I got interested in the nature of mezzanine debt and therefore wanted to learn more about its structure and ways to maximize its usefulness in leverage buyout.
Because I want to fit in.
