Senior student interested in PWM
Hi all,
I am currently a senior student majoring in economics and psychology in a liberal arts college. Have to admit that I am not a strong candidate to apply for PWM division in big banks, since I have a 3.43 GPA (Econ major 3.8) and from a non-target school. In the past three years, I have done internships in hotel management, big 4, and government agency (as a market research analyst).
In order to leverage my low gpa, I am going to take Gmat in January. Would it be helpful? Also, should I study for CFA as well?
Please help. Any advice will be much appreciated!
Happy Holidays!
PWM is really relationship driven. I would network with FAs and Wealth Managers instead to see if there are any jobs/internships/contractual jobs you can do with them. When I interned in a BB PWM, people actually received "Client Associate" positions through networking and ended up becoming an FA. I would network first. Dunno how the GMATs or CFA would help you.
Like aerospaceeric said, PWM is mostly about relationships and networking. CFA could help, but GMAT doesn't matter for anything other than MBA.
