NY IBD - What are my chances?

Hi all, first time poster

I'm at a semi-target US school looking to break through to IBD. So far, no luck. My GPA is 4.0 and I have had some interviews at MM firms like EC,L,GH and R. The BBs and Cdn B5 (RBC, BMO, etc.) have not been easy although i have networked a lot. My previous exp is as a SA at a BB in GER in a PWM div, which i got through a job in BO of a MM in FR mainly working the phones etc.

Ideas? I would really appreciate any feedback - plz PM me or rspnd to this pst.

 

If you've managed to get that many interviews, you just suck at interviewing. Work on that.

define semi-target

also, if L and GH stand for Lazard and Greenhill, I wouldn't classify those as MMs, those are arguably better than many BBs.

anyways, it seems your problem is that you aren't interviewing well and the economy has made it more difficult to get these jobs. (if you were graduating in 2005 you'd be golden)

Lazard is middle market... infact their mm website is lazardMM.com so is greenhill but jus because they are MM doesn't mean they are "beneath" BBs

lazard is NOT middle market. lazard middle market (a subsidiary) is middle market. i think it was originally goldsmith agio helms or somethin (which lazard acquired)
