What should my game plan be?
I'm at a larger boutique/smaller middle market investment bank with 50 senior level bankers and it's own dedicated research arm as a sophomore. I will be working on an active deals, I will be able to do financial modelling, travel with the MD domestically and internationally etc. They will be starting a new live engagement a few day before I start and have enough live deals that I will be able to see deals in the beginning, middle and at closing.
I come from a non-target with a middling GPA 3.3 in a hard science. I've networked with MDs, VPs etc. My question is what should I be doing for next year. I have a good story, strong ECs etc. What should I be aiming for next year? Should I be targeting middle market banks like Piper Jaffray, Morgan Keegan, BB&T, Jefferies or do I have a real chance to be an SA at a BB? I'm applying to a few middle tier BBs where I know MDs and a few elite boutiques where the same is true. Is there any real strategy that I should be adapting?
What?
You have nothing to lose by trying, why not give it a shot? Sounds like that internship will make you a very viable candidate.
What is my chance realistically at a lower/middle tier BB i.e. Barcap (known an MD there), Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, UBS, B of A ML and upper tier elite boutiques like Evercore (know an MD there), Moelis and Lazard for SA is it even 50-50 assuming I apply broadly?
Stop focusing on your chances and just apply!
