Junior That Still Hasn't Found Anything for the Summer, Starting to Get Discouraged
Hi,
Best major for breaking into banking from non-target
I go to a school that is not a target or a low target for finance (JHU) and I'm wondering what course of action will give me the best chance of getting a position at an IBank (preferably in Sales and Trading). Right now I've accumulated enough credits to graduate with a degree in either CS , applied...
Old-timer looking for resume review
I guess I'm not that old, but I'm old compared to most undergrads. (I didn't have the opportunity to get a post-secondary education till a few years ago. I'm 25 now.) I'm finishing up second year at a Canadian non-target. Most of my work experience is in retail (sales and management). I am...
non-target, little finance exp, need lots of help
Hey guys, my first post here after reading dozens of other resume critiques over here, thought I might give it a shot. Graduated last year from a non-target school (UCI), wasn't able to get myself into any of the big 4 accounting firms despite some 2nd round interviews. I am currently looking for a...
Need advice please: Senior, non-target, SA offer
Okay, so my last post was regarding applying for a SA as a senior who had a rough time during FT recruiting. (I created a new name to disguise my identity) I received the offer for an SA position and am wondering what you guys think about accepting it. Is it foolish for a senior to accept an SA...

Non-target superday discussion
Anybody start hearing back from any of the bulge or top mid-markets regarding non-core superdays? Would like to know how the banks structure it. How long for most banks to take to get back to you after a phone conversation about whether or not they invite you for a superday ? This is for the summer...
Resume (MIT/Columbia non-target grad)
http://www.razume.com/documents/18433 I come from an entrepreneurial and academic background, but I've recently become interested in finance thanks to some friends who introduced me to the topic over winter break. Unfortunately, after looking at entry-level jobs, I don't seem to qualify for...

Trading Resume, Non-Target
http://www.razume.com/documents/18002 So I've updated it a lot lately. I added high school to help with the weak college I went to. I think this helps with making me not look like I went to some joke college that was too easy to get my high GPA. Also shows I have accomplishments and could have went...
New Resume, Non-Target Senior
Hey guys, After a lot of revision, here is the latest version of my resume. I have expanded on my work experience and cut down on poker, even though it is still central. I've gotten a lot of negative feedback on the homecoming thing. I agree, it sounds cheesy. But how do I explain it to make it...

Starting to Wonder If I'm Just Not Meant to be a Banker
So basically, I've been having an absolutely MISERABLE term and at this point, I'm starting to wonder if I'm really cut out for i-banking and if maybe its time to look into other careers. I've tried emailing every single boutique in my area, tried contacting alumni, talking to family members, and...
Help with ibanking/school
Hello fellow monkeys, I have a problem. I want to break into a bb but thus far I seem to have missed the criteria.

IB Anaylst/Corporate Finance/Commerical Banking Resume Help
Hi, As you can see I do not have any direct experience with investment banking. I had to work through college since I didn't qualify for financial aid. So I wasn't able to do any internships as a result of my working almost full time to pay rent. I don't really know what to insert in "Technical...

I'm in a somewhat unique situation. I'm sure a lot of people are going to want to rip on me because I'm in a tough spot, etc, but any advice would be much appreciated. I went to a non-target in NYC , graduated '09. I played a major sport for four years, GPA of 3.1. For a year I worked in...

Duke MMS for non-target grad with finance major
Hi, So basically, I'll be graduating relatively soon from a non-target (2 years, maybe sooner if I decide to try and finish sooner) and I'm exploring some other options in case banking doesn't work out. I've been looking online, and Duke MMS seems like an interesting option in that it doesn't seem...
Non-Target Looking For Boutiques For Junior Year
Hi, So basically, I'm about to be a junior at a non-target, and I was wondering if there are any boutiques (first choice is the west coast, but I'll move to Arkansas if I have to) that are friendly toward non-target people. I've kind of messed up these first couple of years, and the result is that I...

Non-Target, Bad Work Experience, About to be a Junior...HELP!
Hi all, So basically, I have a huge interest in consulting, but I've really screwed myself over my first two years.

Consulting Firms That Are More Non-Target Friendly?
Hi, I was wondering if there are any (presumably) lower brand name consulting firms that are more open to people from non-targets applying there or hire a larger number of them relative to MBB ? Also, would these smaller consulting firms still be good enough to go to a top 10-15 MBA so that I can...
Why is DCM/ECM not as good?
I'm kind of curious as to why people dislike DCM and ECM groups so much on these boards. Are the exit opps not as good/are the groups just overall not as impressive as Goldman TMT or something? Maybe my perception is wrong, but I'm basing this off of a noticeable amount of posts when I did a search...

Hi, So basically, I have an interest in 2 areas business law/ethics and corporate development/corp finance (not corp fin advisory though) and I was wondering if there is a way, outside of restructuring, to combine those interests into a career. I have eliminated restructuring because, at least right...
MBAs for Smart But not Elite Students?
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knows about good MBA programs for students that are smart, but don't come from elite backgrounds that might have trouble getting into the M7 schools. For example, I consider myself reasonably smart, but I'm definitely not a Harvard => McKinsey type of candidate...
Risk Management - How difficult is it to break in?
I want to know a bit about risk management, so if anyone can help me out, that would be great:' 1. Breaking in: How difficult is it, esp for non-targets? From my search, I've read anywhere from not too bad to as hard as IB . Btw, I'm not talking about market risk, but rather credit risk, etc. 2. Any...
What's more important Computer skills or math? (help me) :)
I'm about to start my sophomore year at a non-target and have been trying to figure out my 4 year plan. Originally I was planning on majoring in a liberal arts major but found out that 1. The main options I get from that are law school (which I don't want) or a pretty useless job. and 2. I want to...
Is Being a Non-Target Going To Hurt me When Applying to F500s?
So basically, I'm wondering if working in the corporate finance (NOT AT A BANK) for a F500 company is less competitive than investment banking/consulting. After being rejected by every bulge bracket (in just about all of their divisions) and even local boutiques here (btw, I don't even live in New...
We Shall Overcome...Non-Target Backed By The Streets?
The douchey argument that is none other than, non-target vs. target, has caused me to reflect and ultimately become enlightened on the subject. Follow me. Keep in mind that I do not subscribe to any side of this terribly redundant argument. A non-target kid comes from the hood and has a strong...

Hi, So recently, I've gotten really into trading and I find it to be a lot more exciting than I had previously thought. I have a couple of questions though: 1.

My Plan - Attending a non-target
I attend a non-target. We all have our reasons, I have good reasons too, but I'm not going to get into that. I have set my mind in getting into management consulting post-undergrad. It is very appealing to me. I've been reading a lot of forums, and posts, and all the advice is just overwhelming....
Which Middle Office Groups Are "Easier" to Break Into From A Non-Target?
Pretty much the title says it. Which Middle Office groups (i.e. Risk Management, Corporate Treasury, Financial Control, Corporate Strategy, Compliance, etc.) are more doable in terms of breaking in as a non-target person? At this point, I think FO banking, Trading, ER , Consulting are out of reach...
Profile Needed For Schools Just Outside the Top 10
What kind of profile is needed to get into the schools just out of the top 10, such as Duke, UVA, UNC, Texas, CMU types? Although my dream schools are Ross or Haas, I'm not sure if those are within reach because of my GPA is crap (3.45-3.5 range) and my school isn't Wharton, so my work experience is...
Firms like Intel Capital?

Complete non-target -- possible to pull through?
Hey there. How are you guys doing? I have a little bit of a concern. I didn't take my high school too seriously and I ended up with a 3.4 GPA.

Best Work Experience For Top MBAs Besides I-Banking/Consulting/etc and coming from a non-target?
Hi, I'm only a sophomore, but I'm trying to brainstorm my plan of attack for getting into a top MBA (realistically, I'm hoping for Yale SOM, Dartmouth Tuck, or Duke Fuqua, but I'm open to any place that will provide i-banking/ ER opportunities) after my undergrad. Currently, as I have so few...
How Much Would A Lack of Math Skills Hurt in ER?
Hi, I was wondering how important quant skills are in equity research (I've been reading about it, and it seems like a field that suits me fairly well)? I know that for trading , quant majors are looked upon favorably and that majoring in something like finance may actually hurt you, but I was...
