Rerecruiting Timeline??
I am a current junior at a decent IB recruiting school. My gpa going into recruitment was pretty low compared to others recruiting IB at my school, and I think this played a large part into the SA offer I ended up getting (Consumer bank with growing middle market IB presence, think Fifth Third,...
Risk of FT recruit before SA?
Hi all, I'm an incoming MF SA, not in a FO role however. Plus the return offer rate is quite low historically, I want to recruit for FT IB in 2025 and am thinking of networking from now. The thing is I am concerned about the MF finding out about my recruiting. Should I risk it and keep networking?...
Using Insight / Diversity programs for FT Recruiting
Hi everybody. I'm curious if anybody has had success using diversity programs for full time recruiting.

Moving from MM SA to BB/EB FT
Went through 2024 SA recruiting, unfortunately didn't end up getting the offer I wanted. I do have a 2024 SA position lined up at a MM in NYC (think RJ, Lincoln, Piper).

Hello all, I am a current sophomore at Shorter College in Little Rock, Arkansas and I was wondering if anyone has any insight for undergrad MD recruiting.

FT recruiting late or non-existant this year?
I have sent out over 30 applications for FT positions over the last three weeks and I've only gotten two first rounds. Checked with my friends and they have had the same experience. Many banks have simply not had any postings. Anyone know why this is?
BB IB intern -> FT consulting?
Hi All, Currently an IB summer analyst (may 2023 graduation date) at a large BB. Long story short, I'm not a big fan of the tasks, the brutal hours, nor my firm/group to be honest. I don't want to do this for longer than the summer, and the holistic/strategy space + marginally better wlb in...

What can a non-finance major expect in an Asset Management Interview?
Hey Everyone, I am a senior at Michigan from a software engineering background with no finance experience.

TAP Advisors
So, I've seen a couple of threads on TAP and I can't seem to find a consensus on the firm. Like half the reviews are glowing and half are terrible. Is there anyone currently there, or has worked there in the past 2 years that can testify? From my own research it seems like they are a decent TMT shop...
Delaying Graduation for Coding Bootcamp
Basically, got a return offer at a solid tech boutique in San Francisco, but I was expecting the New York office which is the only office I can work full time for personal reasons. They aren't budging, and originally told me it was "99%" chance I would get NY for full time. Because of this, I did...
Do "traditional FT" roles usually post on job boards/linkedin?
Curious whether or not its worth looking through, because I've always assumed those postings are for immediate hire(or within a few months, max) than for them to wait a year before having you on board. Anyone have any exp/thoughts on this?
Why Consulting hires more for full-time?
Hey Everyone, This question has been bothering me a lot. Why Consulting hires more for full-time than banking?

I've got close to 1 year in WE from B4 Audit and trying to transition into IB? Will any boutiques/ MM banks put me in the FT recruiting ring with undergrad/grad students getting ready to graduate?

Junior SA, FT Offer Dilemma
Accepted an SA gig at an M&A boutique (not EB) in NYC and am worried about not getting a FT offer. I don't necessarily want to work at this office full time, but judging from previous posts, I know how important receiving a FT offer is when recruiting for FT . The problem is that after digging...

Useless Summer position, am I stuck?
I've got myself in a interesting situation. I'm currently working at a no-name investment bank where I really don't do much (there just isn't enough going on, not like I could ask for more).
