Stop Making IB School Tier Lists
Most of them are inaccurate as fuck and honestly no one gives a shit what school you went to. Plus, a lot of you guys are just coping by putting your school at a higher tier.
Whoa there, let's not go bananas over school tier lists! While they can be a hot topic on the forums, it's important to remember that they're just one piece of the jungle gym. Here's the scoop based on the most helpful WSO content:
Subjectivity: These lists are often subjective and can vary based on who's making them. They're not the be-all and end-all of your career in investment banking (IB).
Factors Beyond School Prestige: Your individual drive, networking skills, and experience can play a massive role in landing a spot in IB. It's not just about the school name on your resume.
Networking and Experience: Sometimes, what you do is more important than where you study. Building a strong network and gaining relevant experience can sometimes outweigh the school's name.
Diverse Perspectives: Everyone has a different view on what constitutes a 'top' school. Some may prioritize Ivy League names, while others look at the actual number of alumni in IB positions.
The Bigger Picture: At the end of the day, it's about more than just school tiers. It's about fit, skills, and how you present yourself to potential employers.
So, while some may get their tails in a twist over these lists, it's key to focus on what you can control: your own skills and efforts. Keep swinging through those networking vines, and you'll find your place in the IB jungle!
