LOL.

My school, a non-target, would routinely get OCR from Target and Enterprise Rent-a-Car for their management training programs.

--

On a side note, my buddy who got started his career as Executive Team Lead at Target started at $55k Base Salary, which was about the same as Big 4 Audit at the time. Now, 3 years out of school, he's been promoted a ton of times through schmoozing with higher ups and is making close to $80k.

Money Never Sleeps? More like Money Never SUCKS amirite?!?!?!?

95% of college students don't know or care why a school is a target. Point being, who gives a fuck?

Yes, and that 95% are the people who get married right after 22, have crappy jobs, get fat, and long for their glory years of college when they played beer pong every night.

College pedigree matters A LOT.

Who cares? Majority of people are satisfied with making $50k a year starting out and progressing slowly. NO shame in it, imo. Anyone who has a job and takes care of their responsibilities has my respect.

It looks like the following:

  1. Walking up and down Wall Street pestering random people
  2. Linkedin invites to EVERYONE
  3. cold calls
  4. more cold calls
  5. networking events
  6. pestering 'connected' professors
  7. yet more phone calls
  8. employment agencies
  9. going to the bars and buying drinks for bankers
  10. networking
  11. more networking
  12. networking with people not even in finance
  13. making friends with the dudes in the mailrooms of BBs to get inside the building and meet people
  14. WSO, WSO, WSO, WSO
  15. more WSO
  16. meeting people from WSO
  17. meeting their friends
  18. applying to every freaking job on the websites

culminating in: starting in the back office and slashing and burning to the front office, getting 'prestigious' credentials in night school, jumping to another firm, and going to a decent MBA program.

In my next life, I'm going to an ivy undergrad......my kids sure as hell will.

Get busy living
