Who to get letter of recommendation from in investment banking
Who do most bankers get their recommendations from for business school? Associate? VP? MD? Is it best to get it from the person who has worked with me most or the one highest up?
Both. Highest rank and who you worked closest with
the one you have worked with most closely -- a direct supervisor is preferred for at least one. Someone who is more senior is usually key. Doesn't have to be highly ranked Take a look at the quotes from HBS and Stanford admissions officers in this article that talk about that issue http://masteradmissions.com/wrangling-recommendations-for-mba-admission…
plus this even more recent comment from one of the senior Tuck admissions officers http://www.tuck.dartmouth.edu/admissions/blog/finding-the-right-person-…
IB MBA applicants - who writes your recommendations? (Originally Posted: 05/27/2014)
For your b-school recommendations written by supervisors/managers, what level are the people who usually write them? VPs? MDs? Or even group heads/head of banking?
If they can be compared, assuming solid recommendations in both cases, do you think a recommendation from someone like a VP/MD at a top bank would outweigh a recommendation from a group head/head of banking from a less reputable BB, or vice versa?
