Currently an SA at Tier 3 (Nomura/BNP/HSBC) in IBD from Target Ivy School school with 3.7 GPA what are my best options at getting full time position at BB or MF PE ? Got reached out by alums at JPM and recruiters at Vista and Bain Cap but not sure how I can go about converting these opportunities into full-time job.
