Hey all, banking is not for me so easy enough decision on that front. However, I'm struggling with figuring out what's next. Feeling a bit lost without the structure of on campus recruiting and not sure how to go about the job hunt. I'm very open about the roles I'd be willing to work in, so is it just a matter of applying on LinkedIn? Hoping others can speak to their job hunt post-banking for those who didn't go the PE/VC/HF route. Thanks.

Commented this on the other post:
LinkedIn is a useful tool to apply for jobs. Utilize your friends, alumni as well. They will be okay with referring you to HR, since usually large corporations have referral incentives...
How has your experience been in the job search process since then?
I have a final round interview on Tuesday, fingers crossed
Going to med school. Tired of doing unfulfilling work and not being my own boss. My forte lies in memorizing and studying not in BSing things like most of business / finance. I also just hate the fact that I haven't really learned any hard skills (modeling isn't really all that anyways).
Interesting - were you premed in undergrad? How did med schools perceive your banking background?
Not premed. Will be taking classes this year along with getting the necessary ECs to get in the following year. Med schools like the non-trads actually. They're starting to realize that having work experience and being professional is very helpful going into med school than having to learn it after it. Most students before would just go straight from college to med school so they haven't had any actual work experience. Definitely at more of an advantage and am looked at in a more positive light than cookie cutter pre-meds right out of college.
Lol if you hated IB, ur gonna HATE pre-med
Not sure why I’m getting MS, but imagine knowing you’re going to take on $200k of debt with no income for the next 8+ years just to make the same amount you would in IB
I think it would be worth looking into talking to a professional who helps people get hired without scalping you in the process. Hired one for 1,500 and have gotten 10x that in returned value.
Bump, would love to hear from others.
