Networking for Group Selection
Hey monkeys, I'm starting at at BB this summer as an analyst, and I have some groups I know I'd prefer over others. So I was wondering if anyone had any tips for networking into good groups. It feels too early right now to start networking, but maybe I'm wrong. Any thoughts? Thanks!

S&T MD help get SA for IBD
One of my best friend's dad (who I have not met personally) is an MD at a MM (think Jefferies , piper, etc) on the S&T side. I am talking to him about the firm and my ambition to do an SA stint on the IBD side next week. Other than giving my resume to HR, what kind of pull does a connection like...

OWS Protesting OCR Events?
Read this article in NYT, was wondering if any of the ivy leaguers on here have experienced this? My school is fairly conservative so I have not seen any of it, but it seems pretty ridiculous to me.
Would you take MM PE out of undergrad over BB IBD?
As someone with a school that has postings from both, I always wondered if anyone would consider going straight into PE straight from undergrad. Personally, I'd want the camaraderie of being in a bank, but if you're going to do 2 years in a bank just to go straight to PE , why not start in it? The...

Forget IBD, get your PhD
The Nobel Prize. Once an everlasting testament to human intellectual innovation. A beacon of hope, a searchlight though the clouds over our mind's eye. Today, more akin to an online diploma from a for-profit university . A lifetime achievement Oscar for the likable fellow who never quite shone...

Wall Street Cribs: NYC Edition
If you’ve spent any time here on WSO, you surely would have noticed that starting a career in finance is not easy. The competition for jobs is fierce to say the least, and once you get in its no cakewalk. Being an analyst isn’t fun and the higher up the ladder you get you realize life isn’t a...
Gained ~10 lbs in first two months as analyst
Too much cheap chinese/mexican/american on seamless + lack of exercise. I'm actually less concerned about my physique than I am about having to redo my wardrobe if I get too fat. What do you guys eat to stay in shape when you don't have time to work out? I tried eating a salad for dinner but I was...

Canadian -> NY MM/Boutique SA IBD?
Just wondering how likely it is to get an offer from a MM /Boutique SA in IBD as a Canadian. I know some BBs recruit from places like Ivey/Queens/McGill (for the record, I go to one of those schools) but how willing are smaller firms to bring people over? Is the Visa process complex/expensive? Is it...

Summer Analyst Timeline
I am looking for information on the junior SA Timeline, I searched and last thread was from '06. My question is how does it get rolling? I imagine banks do FT first and then SA . Are there any times that things have to be done by? I'm asking because at BarCap I already have an internal referral but...

I'm looking for research reports on the construction or milling industries in Canada/US and it's my first time using CapIQ and Factset and I'm not having much luck. There's no pre-existing data since I'm at a boutique. Would you guys happen to have some good resources on how to find it? Or even...

Hi guys, I interned as a SA in a BB's IBD this summer at one of the regional offices (London).

Resume review for dual degree
Hi all-- I'm a rising 5th year senior at a non-target, pursuing an undergrad degree in finance and a master's degree in accounting.

Why do top shops (founded by former traders) recruit into IBD rather than S&T?
Many of the founders/key people at multistrategy shops like Moore Capital, GLG , SAC , DE Shaw , Bridgewater , Citadel , and Fortress came from trading backgrounds . Yet it seems much of the recruiting done by these funds nowadays is into IBD classes rather than S&T - any insights as to why this is...
Well, time to go for it - Big 4 (non-Valuation) to IB Associate
Inspired by what I've been reading, I'm going to go for it. I'd prefer a BB , but MM or boutique will do. I'm going to use this thread to update my progress (mainly for myself, but maybe it will help others too.) I will keep the updates short and infrequent (only when I have real info to report)....
How's this for a strategy?
Knowing that applying to BB 's FT for IBD without a connection is basically a lottery, would the odds be better if I just apply to PWM for BB and focus on MM and Boutique IBD (I do have a very good MM connection). Honestly, at the end of the day I need a job and I'm going an unconventional route...
Difference between IBD groups?
Hello. What is the difference between M & A and say, the Energy group at GS ? The Energy group will never work on M & A deals, but just offerings? Out of all the groups in IBD , which would be best to position yourself for a job at a L/S Fundamental Hedge Fund? Thanks.
Accelerated Interview Process
Hey Guys, I know this question has been asked before, but I couldn't find a definitive answer and since now is the season for said recruiting process, I wanted to ask again for any insight. Is this just HR reaching out to SAs at other banks, or is it just as likely for us to try to network with...
Non-Target Meetings Help

THANK YOU WSO - IBD FT Offer Non-Targ
Just got a FT offer from BB (think GS , CS , DB) in NY . I am from a non-target so needless to say recruiting for SA positions was quite difficult. I ended up not even getting a first round interview from anywhere I applied, which I assume was because of my poor gpa and non-target school. Anyway, I...
How do I get good grades?
So I just finished my sophomore year at a target/semitarget. Not WHYPS, but we send quite a few kids into banking every year. The thing is that all the kids we send have GPAs of 3.7+ while I'm at 3.0. I've talked to a few contacts in the industry that I met through upper year friends at my school....
Your opinions
Given an option, would you rather start IBD in an emerging market (Shanghai/Mumbai) or more developed markets like NYC /London considering the deal-flow, deal exposure, pay in absolute terms(PPP) and lower cost of living? What would you prefer if an emerging market (eg. Shanghai, Mumbai etc) was...
HK SA -> NY FT Possible?
If I grew up in NY and had a few internships in NY but did my SA at GS /MS/ JPM HK , is it still possible for me to start in NY for FT? I know its hard for me to move back to NY FT if I did Asia IBD FT , but given that I only did the HK SA gig to get an international experience, will this hurt me...
