Thank you WSO. I wish I could put it in more words, after months and 70+ applications, cold emails, cold calls, I finally landed an interview with a boutique bank in NYC and they offered me a long term intern analyst position (~6 months) which I believe could materialize into a FT gig.
Background: - non-target state school okay GPA (3.6) - non-Finance background - graduated about a year ago (been working in an unrelated field since) - no contacts in the finance industry prior to a few months ago
I bought the networking, fit interview, and tech interview guides (IB Prep Pack) and used them to a T (highly suggested)
I was fortunate to network--->cold email---->phone info session my way into an interview.
Like someone said in another thread, "i've never been so excited to work 80 hours a week"
Thanks WSO. As I celebrate tonight among my friends, I will toast to you (and my friends will have no idea what the f*ck i'm talking about).
I could have never asked for a better way to start the new year
congratulations...it's good to hear a success story every now and again.
Good luck in NYC
I NEVER get sick of these thread. Some of us had our moment and some will in the future. Enjoy it- today is your day brah
congrats man! make the best out of the internship and get the FT offer
Congrats! I actually enjoy reading these old #winning threads. Even if it's just to get my banana points.
Congratulations! I have a similar background, and hope to be in your position. Good luck getting that FT offer!
