So What Now? (Job Search Advice Needed)
Hi, everyone.
I'm not exactly sure what I need to be doing for my job search. For context, here are highlights of my resume:
1) Graduated with a Bachelor of Science in three years in May in top 10% at off-target business school in North Carolina (econ major, 3.43 major GPA, accounting and finance course background)
2) Run a relatively successful contract dogsitting business (74 unique clients, 35% repeat client base, 51 five-star reviews) - I guess laughable but it has been a good point of leverage in interviews
3) Financial Rep. Intern experience
So what now? I wanted to do financial analysis/IB right out of college, but I honestly couldn't tell you why aside from job security, exit ops, and $. Not that those are the only thing that matter, but I want a stable career, and finance is the way to go.
So knowing this, what am I supposed to be applying for? I'd rather shoot myself than do sales, strictly commission-based jobs, or be a damn teller. I'm open to go anywhere in the country, tech looks nice, but I'd honestly go for anything that had job security, exit ops, and $. I love to travel and love music, but ironically those pay nothing.
Thanks.
Corporate finance is supposed to pay well, have good hours, and isn't as insanely competitive as IB is. A friend does corp fin at one of the BBs and I think he's pulling 80-90k right out of school just working 9 - 5.
Corp finance would be interesting. How would you recommend getting into that this late in the process and from an off-target? I was thinking about just going out to LA and getting shopped out by a temp agency and hoping something lands. Obviously networking is great, but it hasn't done much for me so far.
