Hey everyone. So I know that Georgia Tech is a nontarget(semi target at best) for corp finance in banks, but I was just wondering how it does in terms of trading. From what I hear the bank's trading divisions love engineering and math students from top engineering schools. Is Georgia Tech targeted for trading positions at all. (particularly industrial engineering) I'm more of a numbers guy and I think I would enjoy trading more than corporate finance. thanks

I also came from Georgia Tech and I think we can both agree that firms don't go to tech looking to fill trading positions. I do know of Tech graduates that have leveraged their engineering(IE)/Math degree into trading positions. Now these kids had stellar grades and networked long and hard for a position. If you are able to network well it can certainly be done.
I had taken an online computational investing class on coursera with a GT professor, Tucker Balch. He made the engineer to trading jump, and is also a gt alum. Maybe try getting in touch with him?
Definitely doable but maybe not in the traditional i-banking S&T sense. Many of the Chicago prop firms recruit from Tech. Also, many of the oil companies recruit from the school.
I saw one kid coming from Georgia Tech in my bank this summer doing fixed income s&t.
Was he a Quantitative and Computational Finance kid?
This thread is 2 years old. There's a kid from GT QCF doing Citi S&T this summer. Many HFT firms recruit on campus (one kid went to Citadel last year) but not BBs. That being said, kids who have high GPAs and stellar internships will find ways into BB S&T roles, but it isn't a walk in the park.
