Investment role? Absolutely. Otherwise don't waste your time
BlackRock has a unique system for recruiting for their investment teams, the uniqueness is that they actually don't. It's futile to end up in a division that has no future or actual value
Cool, thanks for the help. I've heard mixed reviews on the culture, could you touch on that if you don't mind?
Can't really provide that much
I have a friend who works at the FMA division and absolutely hates it. He's claims to be working banking hours for a quasi consulting job. He's staying there hoping internal mobility weighs in his favour
That's really helpful, I appreciate it!
It’s a fantastic line to have on your resume and a great place to start your career. We’ll teach you a lot. Culture and hours definitely vary by group and location. You probably won’t stay forever but it’ll be good for a few years. Investment teams recruit a ton of undergraduates, contrary to what somebody above said.
