Is it easier for a non target school to break into S&T than IB
Because S&T has a lot less seats to begin with and the interviews are more knowledge based/you prove your competency is it easier to break in from a non-target? Additionally, is it worth transferring from a non-target to a target.
You kind of already answered your question. The fact that there are fewer seats will make it harder to get interviews, making it harder to break in so, No is the short answer. Yes on the second part of transferring from non target- target. Please for the love of future you transfer ASAP.
I think I could make it work from my non-target. The thing I'm really grappling with is how my brand name will affect me long term. I.E. will it be a detriment when I want to pitch or sell financial products.
Depends on how much of a non target you're coming from. Big state school but not a traditional target like Rutgers, Penn State, Ohio State, ? Yeah I'd stick it out there. Big brand name and well known, even if it may not be in finance. There's so many students so you're bound to run into a few on linkedin working at the bank you want. Small but good LAC like Bucknell? I'd stick it out there too. I know kids from Bucknell. Great school and pretty tight alumni network from what I've heard.
But coming from my school like mine, a small and an unknown LAC? Yeah you're fucked. You can try as hard as you want but there's thousands of kids who are working just as hard as you and have access to more resources that you don't even know exist.
If you're in the first two categories, stay. If you're in the third, transfer, or start looking at grad school (MFIN if you're going into S&T).
Depends - did you play lacrosse, and which bank does your dad work?
in my expereince yes... less people want to do S&T typically and the sharpest kids typcially go for ibanking
Yes
It is harder to break in to S&T as an out of school. However S&T is more open to middle office functions moving to front office. Hence overall I'd say it is easier.
