Corporate Banking full-time

Have found a lot of information about corporate banking salary and day-to-day. I'm curious about the recruiting timeline for full-time and GPA requirements.

Looked through many of the BB corporate banks' college recruiting websites and they currently have no postings. Assuming that recruiting is primarily during the fall semester, is this correct?

Also, what are common GPAs for this field?

Finally, are those who have started their career in corporate banking enjoying it? The work/life balance seems great. What is the compensation really like, especially once you move to an RM type role? Salary seems to be inflated quite often on this forum.

Thanks in advance for the insight.

 

They probably dont target your school.

I know Wells Fargo does, and they ONLY recruit in the fall. After that, they bring people in piecemeal until they are staffed.

What school do you go to? We had a recruiting meeting about a month ago, and reviewed the recruiting process. Some of our our targets this year for mid-west and east were the top boston schools, wake forest, UNC, and UIUC.

Its a fairly small program. You are much more likely to have seen Wells Fargo's commercial bank recruiting near you
