Lateral Resume

Hey all, I'm looking to lateral this summer after 1 year into my analyst role and I'm revamping my resume. Obviously deal experience is the focal point on my resume. However, should I still include the most applicable extracurricular experiences from undergrad?

What's holding me back from cutting the clubs: I placed top 10 in a 300+ person investing competition and held various positions in my fraternity, which has one of the largest alumni bases in the US. They take up four lines in total, but I honestly think my deal commentary is robust enough. What are your thoughts?

Would definitely keep those on your resume, you'd be surprised how much being in a big national frat helps - but cut them to 1 line each. Maybe an "involvement" section near bottom of resume rather than these things taking up 3 lines

You can kill them for your third or fourth job but at 1 yeat out of school there is still a decent amount of focus on your undergrad, GPA etc so might as well highlight these things

 

I just graduated last month from an MSF program and was involved in the student fund that was solely for grad students in that program (undergrad had their own fund which was a lot larger than ours). Having some decent to valuable experience on my resume, would you recommend including the work I did when I was involved in the grad student fund on my resume under the professional experience section? (for scope, was an equity analyst covering the Technology Hardware/Software/Semi sub-sectors. During that time, I also completed the CFA Research Challenge and got 2nd place.)  -Appreciate any insight!
