I applied with a referral from someone in the ER department as well as two other higher ups batting for me in other departments, got dinged by HR before an interview because I didn't meet requirements by being a 2018 (?) graduate/not having a full year experience yet. Is this bullshit? Whats your background and have you heard back? I am currently working on a strong team at a MM bank in research with good coverage but have not been offered a full time position until I get my CFA results back in Jan. - felt pretty qualified for the position.

 

Unfortunately, I got dinged after the hireview last week. I think there's some nepotism or they're looking for ER people from other firms that are looking to jump ship.

Had a good background + read a book about equity research + decent school + front office role with a promotion and that wasn't enough. Oh well : (
