S&T from MBA.....What am I missing?
I have heard many people say that you shouldn't get an MBA for s&t. I understand why when it comes to trading, but why not for sales? and if this is true, why do so many BBs have associate programs? if i wanted to pursue sales and eventually management, wouldnt an mba be useful?
its not that you can't get in to S&T from an MBA...you can (sometimes)...but the MBA doesn't really help...its just for those people who were not able to get in via undergrad recruiting (and its still no guarantee).
S&T is harder to get into than IB...just by the numbers...IB accepts more people.
Lots of people can do IB (its hard work...but lots of people can work hard.) Very few are actually good at S&T.
I’m in asset management Sales now. Would you say it’s possible to network my way in or should I go mba route?
I would agree with above poster. Much fewer roles in S&T post MBA and most of those opportunities will be sales and not trading. Also the % of interns that receive offers to return for full time is usually lower in S&T. If you are in asset management sales I would try to move over to S&T internally especially if you are in a large BB.
I would love to but I’m at a regional. The only product we’re big in is equity sales, which I’d be ok with if the comp was there. Just worried conp would continue lower in That space.
Yes, you can definitely network in. You'll have to show that you're not retarded when it comes to markets or trading lingo, but at the end of the day sales on a sell side S&T desk is sales.
This comes directly from multiple high level sales traders (Director and above) who I know on a personal level.
Yea, just a data point for you: at my M7 there was 1 offered S&T position, one.
There are some positions for Capital Markets - sorta in between IB & S&T, but even those are fewer and far between.
This relative to ~100 accepted IB offers.
Is there any kind of structured OCR for SS equity research at your m7?
Thanks!
Yep, it's a parallel but separate process to IB, given how different the divisions are.
