Worked in a telecoms VC team and a top-tier tech company from the Silicon Valley had a recruiter where, due to summer holidays, most candidates dropped out or weren't available. Got a call whether I might be interested in an interview slot THE SAME DAY (like, within 3 hours). Went in without prep and actually got a job offer the same day.
Even when I started I couldn't believe I actually landed that job. Stayed for a year and then went back into banking/finance.
Non-target, expelled during sophomore year, got back in, still graduated with a sub 3.0 GPA, now analyst at event-driven HF. I fedex'd copies of my resume and idea write ups directly to the CIOs of funds I admired.
