Did some looking around and it appears that there hasn't been an in-depth thread about this topic in a while, so curious to see what input everyone has.
Background: Just graduated in May and was fortunate to land a FT IB role following my time as a SA last year. Obvious EOY bonus numbers could vary, but at the end of the day I should be sitting at 110-140k pre-tax. I have $60k in student loans, a 750 credit score, and no additional debt (CC, Auto, etc.)
Really just wanted to get some insight on strategies that some of you have utilized in repaying your debt. I obviously want to Refi ASAP and get a more attractive rate, but maintaining the right mix of debt and investments is very important.
There is a slew of companies that offer refi services (sofi, citizens, etc.) but I'm almost wondering if it would be better to inquire with a few different banks and get a loan directly from there.
Any advice or insight would be great. Thanks in advance!
Excuse the typos - my brain is fried from today lol
140k 3 months out of college - sheesh congrats man
In a similar situation. Could you do a solid and pull some comps for recent student loan refis? Maybe leverage some peers to establish a pricing grid. Should be favorable given our credit scores. Maybe tack on some quals pages. These could just be a summary of our compensation and qualifications compared to the average student. I can PM you my info so you can start piecing together our pro forma capitalization at about 6 months into our jobs (should highlight our increased liquidity.) If you wanna be a rockstar then show pro forma one year out (add in EOY bonus, don’t forget to show us paying down a healthy portion of the debt.) Circulate once that’s done, thx.

Also look at Discover, Sallie Mae, etc. if your plan is to pay off in next two years or so, better to get floating. Get parents to co-sign if they are in good standing - will have significant positive impact regardless of your credit score.
