Same for Boutiques

Here's Me:

target, gpa>3.4, related major, prior BB experience+f500 experience, correspondence with about 30 people/ reached out to about 45
Interests: Sales and Trading, GCM

BB: 10 firms, 22 apps, in the middle of first round for one, waiting to hear back from the others(late/mid january deadlines)

Boutiques: 10 firms, 12 apps, didn't hear back from any yet

Feel free to make any suggestions to make this survey better

 

Let me clean it up a bit for you (I'm really interested in this thread too).

Copy and paste below:

Education level: (ie: 3rd year undergrad) Target/Non-target: GPA level: (strong, good, medium, low) Major: (relevent or not relevant) Prior related internship experience: (yes or no) Level of Networking: (high vs medium vs low OR # of people reached out to + # of people with correspondence) Type of job applied to: (ST, IB, PE, etc.) (SA or FT)

of BB applications/1st round interviews/offers:

of Botique applications/1st round interviews/offers:

By the way, you applied to each BB firm 2.2 times on average? That seems like a lot - I'm planning on doing just one app per firm. Is that not normal? Also, the 9 BB banks according to Thomas Reuters are: 1. Barclays Capital 2. Bank of America Merrill Lynch 3. Citigroup 4. Credit Suisse 5. Deutsche Bank 6. Goldman Sachs 7. JPMorgan Chase 8. Morgan Stanley 9. UBS

 

Wow, no one's willing to fill out this silly form even for a silver banana:

Education level: (ie: 3rd year undergrad) Target/Non-target: GPA level: (strong, good, medium, low) Major: (relevent or not relevant) Prior related internship experience: (yes or no) Level of Networking: (high vs medium vs low OR # of people reached out to + # of people with correspondence) Type of job applied to: (ST, IB, PE, etc.) (SA or FT)
