ROTC and Finance
Hi, I am currently a Sophomore at Cornell University. I have a 3y scholarship and plan on joining the Reserves. I was in Nanosciences, transferred as ECON major and am want to get into finance. I'm most likely getting a low-profile internship this summer, but am hoping to get a top firm internship my junior year. Can training camp wait? Can I bargain with the firms to move the internship? Will they adapt for me or just take somebody else? Thanks
Hey, I went thru the same process a few years ago. Short answer: yes, it’s very possible. I’d suggest reading up on USERRA. It is very important to understand that going in. You won’t find a ton of people in finance who have gone this path, but that’s not because you can’t do it.
I will PM you.
In the exact same position as op: sophomore at cornell in ROTC. Would love to chat with you as well for some advice on how to proceed, and whether its worth recruiting considering my current position.
Just pm’d you
I'm a current freshman in ROTC also looking to go down the Reserve/IB path and would love to hear any advice you have.
Pm’d you
Currently considering the ROTC route, would love to get your thoughts if you’re still available
Hey, I know this discussion was a while ago, but I’m an ROTC SMP cadet in a similar boat as a lot of the guys here. I’d love to pick your brain if you have some time.
High school -> Army active duty -> undergrad -> IB here. If you’re gonna go into the military, jump with both feet. 100% of my regrets from the military are missing out on doing cool-guy stuff like airborne school, a handful of deployments, etc. The military will pay for your MBA with the GI bill. Go active, kick some doors, get all the cool stories you can for IB recruiting (it does wonders), and then go be a meathead MBA Associate. Or not, I’m just a guy on the internet
Agree here, send it and go active duty. Come back to private sector later. Reserves suck for first-termers cuz you never get the "true" operating forces experience
