Needing help deciding on FT offers
Hi guys,I'm deciding between commodities S&T at a BB and a risk/quantitative analysis at a top AM (BlackRock/Fidelity/PIMCO). I interned at the top AM for the summer and know they have good internal mobility, so perhaps I could move to quant research role later.Background: target / ivy league, 3.5 GPA, president of finance club on campus. I used to want to work in investment research, but now am open to considering other career paths. Please comment with any advice/thoughts! Thank you!
S&T desk at the BB. Seems like a more interesting experience. If you already had a good experience at the AM then go with them if the fit is good. It will probably be easier to work harder and stand out in a place where you are a good fit.
assuming you have both offers..depends on what shops these are
This is such an elementary question. withouth background on the company's anyones opinion is useless.
How were you able to get S&T FT offer without interning there for the summer?
Hey, so I'll be super honest here as a way to give back to WSO.
I got interviews at the BB S&T desk because my boyfriend is friends with an associate there. I like to to think I check most boxes (double major in Econ and STEM field, finance EC, brand name internship, and can code -- which is appealing to S&T desks). The networking helps balance out the borderline GPA. So, network, network, network and shamelessly rely on any personal relationship you have.
