I just got an interview in NYC: help,tips, anything please!

Just wear your best suit and some nice shoes that match. You can bring resumes printed on heavy paper but I don't think it really matters since the interviewer always has a copy of your resume. For questions just look through the thousands of threads on here aout that topic or pick up a Vault guide.

Also, your plane ticket/hotel should be paid for by the bank, you'll probably need to call up their travel department and make arrangements.

Who's still recruiting this late?

first off.. just dont get overly anxious. enthusiasm is good but keep it in check. just dress smart and as for what type of paper the resume is printed on, i dont think that matters much. i would worry more on how you are preparing to discuss your resume. as stated above, look through the forum for the sorts of questions you might get asked. and goodluck

alright thanks, I'll call their travel dept. asap but also I don't have a vault guide or what not. They know I'm an upcoming sophomore who has no banking internship experience, but apparently they liked me over the phone. This is also a prestigious boutique bank that apparently needed an intern. But since they didn't mention paying for my flight, should I still try asking?

yeah, ask them about travel dept because that's messed up if they want to bankrupt already bankrupt college students.. and given that it is "prestigious"

go buy a vault guide - i'm sure if you go through the motions this early on, it'll prepare you come junior recruiting season. you have a week and that should be plenty of time to get the basics down

You can get a Vault guide from the library or online through your career center or even in a bookstore.

As for travel expenses it'd be pretty illegit if they expected interviewees to pay for it, I'd definitely ask.

^thank you all once again. B/c I was seriously contemplating whether to stay in Jamaica queens for 280 a night (cheapest I could find).

just wear a suit and shoes. more importantly make sure you konw what youre talking about. i assume this is IBD, so know basic accounting (how to talk through the 3 stmts), valuation (DCF, how to do comps, accretion/dilution), and have a good answer as to why ibd too.

good luck.

They should be putting you up in a hotel right next to where you're interviewing so you won't have to travel from Queens to Manhattan

Is this for a paid internship position? If it isn't, don't count on getting reimbursed for the flight... There are cheap places in midtown to stay, Latham Hotel is like $100 bucks a night, max.

Congrats Yury

it said I will be getting paid, so I'll call first thing tomorrow morning to see if they do cover costs, if not I'll check out latham, thanks. The bank is on Broadway, midtown Manhattan, so if anyone else knows of a decent/cheap hotel let me know.

^your dry humor gets the best of me every time.

dude, stay in a fucking hostel. jazz on the town, 14th street... not too shitty.

^I intend to, but 350 a night is a bit pricey for me, I'm 18 and would be flat broke if I did.

there's a YMCA hostel up on the 102nd, I think. It's nearby Harlem, but it's in a well-lit and lively area -- and from what I remember, it's not nearly sa expensive.

congratulations yury :)

thanks for all the congratulations, but unfortunately they don't have a travel dept. so this entire trip will be out of pocket :-/ oh well, better be worth it...

that's really shitty and kinda shady. what company expects broke college students to pay for travel expeneses?
