I made it -- hope for "super" non-targets
Hey guys, I've been a lurker on these boards for quite some time, taking advantage of the invaluable information available for college students such as myself. I've "taken" a lot from this community so I figure it's only fair to give back (or attempt to at least). First and foremost, my intentions...

Non Target progression within IB or to PE
Does non-target status become irrelevant after you break into a BB FO . Or will I have to attain a MBA from a target to become promoted at my company? Have any of you seen a non target at the associate, VP, or MD level (at a solid MM or BB)? Finally, will a non target have trouble breaking into PE...
HYP v. State school
Is HYP really "better" best state schools (Michigan, Penn State, UT, ect,) Other than the obvious it allows for much more networking abilities with alums in higher places, and that the biggest and most successful corporations recruit from them. Do you really learn more or receive a better education...

Breaking in Asset Management Now What?
I recently graduated from a top 40 (but non target) university in June and have been working since. I was unable to get a job in my desired fields of Asset Management or trading, but I did get a position in a financial analytics (middle office/quantish) role at a major rating agency in San...

Interview Advice - 2009 Grad from a non target
I'm a 2009 grad from a non-target, mediocre GPA with no banking experience. I got an offer last week from an elite boutique (w/ a signing bonus) and thought I'd share some advice. I think it really applies to those of you w/out a finance background, but really I'd recommend it to anyone. Go into...
Soon to be grad- what are my job prospects
I'm a senior studying Finance and Economics at a non-target school in Canada. I have an astoundingly poor undergrad GPA. I have deferred graduation by a semester. I passed CFA® L1 in December, and will write L2 next June. (I know many consider the CFA® to be completely useless, but at this point I...

Applying with little or no results!
Ok, so here is my dilemma. I go to a non target. When I mean non target, I mean its not even on the radar of anyone in the financial community. I could have gone to a top 20 school, but passed up the opportunity to save money. In the past two summers, I have done two internships one being with an...
Is Banking or Consulting "Easier" To Break Into From A Non-Target?
Hey, I was wondering if banking, equity research , or trading is easier to break into (relatively speaking of course as they are all tough) from a non-target? I know all those industries are prestige whores, but is there one that is less whorish than the others (bad sentence, but I can't articulate...
How do Non targets interview at good banks?
I mean, maybe I'm being elitist here but why do BB's and other banks recruiting from non-targets? I mean, if they cut hiring it would make sense to fill an entire class with say, 20 harvard, 20 yale, 20 princeton, 20 duke, 20 columbia, etc. Why not just do that and have a very very strong impressive...
