Yale Student Investment Group
Hi Everyone, I have a friend interested in getting into Yale Student Investment Group. He has prepared since he accepted the Early Decision offer and was just wondering how hard it is to get into the club? He has read public equity investment books, general business books on topics such as Corporate Finance, Marketing, Operations Management, Supply Chain, Accounting, etc, the main inverview guides for both IB and HF and industry primers. Does that sound like preparation that would put him on the right path to get into the club?
😭😭😭😭 tell ur boy he doesn’t need to do this much to even get an offer, forget the fucking yale student investment group.
From the bottom of my heart pls pls pls tell him to enjoy the last few months he has at home before he goes to Yale, he will regret it if he keeps prepping this shit.
It’s actually psycho to have been prepping since December
The club still positions you best for a top offer. He has already enjoyed high school and he wants to build for the future. One semester doesn't change anything. I think it is ambitious but wouldn't call it psycho. He just knows what he wants. And wants to maximize his probability.
It’s okay to just say this is you asking and not your “friend”
Its ok:) you don't have to pretend to be your friend
And what exactly did you gain from saying this?
Also, prepared since december means every day he studies about 30 min to 1 hour if he has time per day. Also, if one had fun already in high school why not just focus one's free time on something productive. Internationals have it harder because they don't have green card. So the bar is higher. Don't understand the hate. Don't care much about it, until you make it sound like it is wrong to be overly ambitious when life didn't deal you a strong financial card and this maybe once in a lifetime opportunity.
dude, 50% of IB recruiting is them figuring out if you're chill enough to work 18 hours every day with them. I get trying to be ahead of the curve, but 1) you go to Yale, which is ahead of the curve of most IB prospects, and 2) also part of being ahead of the curve is having different things to talk about yourself (experiences, passions, etc). The point is, build a holistic version of yourself that is impressive enough so that a person working 15+ hours a day is willing to spend 25-35 minutes of their time to speak with you and be impressed enough to help out in the process.
otherwise your network is just gonna treat you like any other candidate because you didn't standout from the 50 calls they did
Good for you. Prepare well better than nothing. I know guy from Yale international background like you end up at far far local satellite office, waste much time in AADP rotational program.
Lucky enough to end up at FO (because of Yale) in that far satellite office while most AADP cohort end up at MO. You deserve better than that.
Dude you were asking about other random school clubs like a week ago. Clubs don't matter. Prepare, network, kill your interviews, and you will get a top offer. The difference between kids at targets who get top MF PE offers vs regular IB offers is not clubs, it's prep and presentation. Make yourself well-rounded, interesting, and get your technicals down.
PS. You can just say it's you instead of 'your friend,' no one cares
