Struggling to get a buyside role
Coming from a tier 2 bulge bracket tech group (BofA, Barclays, Credit Susie etc) and struggling to land a buyside role for exit. Still in my first year of banking.
Starting to wonder if I should give up on landing an investing job. How have other people thought about this?

Took me about a year and a half from a tier 2 consultancy. Just keep banging your head against the wall. These jobs come up all the time. You have a shit market but just weather the market and keep at it. After every interview, assume you didn't get it - makes it a lot easier to just move on with your life each time.
Just be the Hemmingway hero - third string quarterback who goes into practice every single day and gives 100% even knowing he may never get off the bench
At an eb (ignore title) with the same luck as a first year. Slow processes and ghosting - tough market. Things should turn up for a second shot at on cycle I’m sure
It can be challenging to transition from a bulge bracket tech group to a buyside role, particularly if you're still in your first year of banking. However, it's important to remember that persistence and networking are key to finding the right opportunity.
You could consider reaching out to alumni or contacts in the industry to explore potential leads or gain insights into the hiring process. Additionally, continuing to develop your skills and knowledge through courses or certifications could make you a more attractive candidate to potential employers.
It's also important to keep in mind that the path to an investing job may not be a linear one, and it may take time and effort to find the right opportunity. However, if you're passionate about pursuing a career in investing, it's worth continuing to explore different avenues and opportunities.
