Will being in the USMC Reserve impact my chances for employment with IM, IB, Etc?

Hey,

I plan on joining the USMC reserve, and I am wondering how my reserve status will impact how potential employers will view my hire-ability for IM, IB, Etc firms? I currently have a BS in Economics, MA in Financial Economics, and am study for CFA I. I have been working as a commercial GL underwriter for the past few years. I understand the competitiveness of many of these firms, but I am just curious how they will look at the reserve commitment (1 weekend a month, two weeks in the summer, and potential deployments) on employment.

Thank you for your replies,

Thomas
