Am I Screwed? New User Help
Hi everyone. I’m a new monkey here, I’ve known about this site for a while, but did not sign up until now. Something like this has probably been already discussed, but I couldn’t find an adequate posting, so here we are.
I am a senior coming from what would be thoroughly considered a non-target school, which has a non-existent alumni network in finance. I’m late to the networking game when it comes to IB/PE/AM, as I had only decided on finance about a year ago. Thankfully, I was able to secure a summer internship (not as an analyst however) at one of the top PE firms in the world this past summer, but a FT offer was never a possibility (this was made clear from the start).
I have a 3.8 GPA, double major in Econ/Philo, and am quite aware that the odds are completely stacked against me when it comes to breaking into the finance world. I could use some advice from you monkeys right now, for now and the future. I plan on applying to a top business school in the future, but what should my course of action be until then? Should I look for a less prestigious role as a financial analyst or something of the sort, and leverage an MBA to break into the field later? Any feedback would be appreciated!
The MBA route is an option.
Did you not meet anyone at the PE fund that you could ask help from? Everyone understood FT offer wasn't possible, but if you were well-liked there should be someone there who knows someone and can recommend you.
