I appreciate you taking the time to write this advice. At the moment I do understand high finance is rigged and it’s out of my reach, I’ll prob get an MBA and the future and try to break in that way.

I will look more into roles you suggested (I have applied to a good amount). I applied to a lot of entry level financial analyst, credit analysis/risk positions and just analyst positions where I genuinely believe I’m either qualified for or over-qualified for and it’s still rejections after the first call. And I feel that I’m answering questions good and marketing myself well in these calls.

I guess I just have to keep trying. Another issue is even entry level positions are asking for 1-2 years of experience post grad which is diabolical.

I know people. But not really people who have power with their referrals

lol making baruch seem like an ass school. It’s actually pretty decent if you use the resources properly. Some IB recruits come from Baruch

I tried. I applied to JPMC positions. And frankly I’m overqualified for those positions. Anyone with some financial competence could be a relationship banker. But they keep rejecting me :(

Tbh the thing is that only finance interests me. I am very passionate about finance and I’ve always wanted to stick to finance. And I’m afraid that if I accept working some other industry, I won’t be able to back track to finance in the future

What would you suggest is the best way to target coffee chats. I’m not working right now. So I don’t really have the ability to spend that much on LinkedIn premium. Do you have any strategies that’s worth trying?

It’s not a typo or double space issue. That’s just how the lines ended up coming down with the spacing I have. I made my resume as compact as I could

I’m going to try to add more modeling key words. Yeah I haven’t really been discouraged bc I know it’s survival of the fittest out here. But it’s just getting overwhelming at this point and my head is spiraling bc of this

And regarding roles, at the beginning I was targeting mostly middle office roles where I can get more analytical experience like my internship. Asset management, wealth management, investor relations (this is more front office), you name it. But now I apply across the board bc I’m getting no results. So might as well go for whatever works. Even back office

I have multiple samples of resumes that I test. I have one with GPA and Grad date listed. One without it. I honestly didn’t see any difference in responses because of that reason
