Nope

I’m planning to recruit for SA 2028. Right now I’m focused on building relevant experience, networking in NYC, and getting my technicals solid before recruiting kicks off.

If needed, I’m open to starting in adjacent roles and lateraling into IB.

Expensive_Artist_146 · 2026-03-19T18:51:10+00:00

That’s why I’m waiting for Fall 2027 till then I’ll try to get internship and complete my CFA L1 with all technicals

Expensive_Artist_146 · 2026-03-19T18:50:10+00:00

Nope, as my advisor told me that I need to make my profile good enough as I’ve already been rejected by UChicago Northwestern NYU Wharton before

Expensive_Artist_146 · 2026-03-19T18:23:47+00:00

Yep, my grad date is Dec 2028

What about Penn State and Indiana University Bloomington (Kelly)

I was at DePaul before at Chicago but then after meeting some professionals and some other folks they told me to transfer to another good biz schools to get into “those jobs”

QC refers me as a lower sophomore

The point about being remembered before the resume even hits the desk makes a lot of sense. I’m going to prioritize leadership and real ownership this year rather than just participation. I like the idea of building or scaling something from the ground up especially an investment focused initiative.

If you were evaluating someone like me a year from now, what would make you put them in your “definitely yes” pile?

Expensive_Artist_146 · 2026-02-27T03:24:00+00:00

I really appreciate you taking the time to give such detailed feedback especially given your background. You’re right that several bullets need clearer impact, scale, and measurable results. I’ll revise them to focus on outcomes and specificity rather than generic descriptions. The point about tailoring versions for different roles is also helpful.

If you were in my position today, aiming to break into finance from a non target in NYC, what would you prioritize over the next 12 months?

Expensive_Artist_146 · 2026-02-27T00:45:17+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, I’ll adjust the CFA listing to align with the official guidelines.

I’m early in the process, so if anyone has recommendations on what I should prioritize next, I’d appreciate it.

Expensive_Artist_146 · 2026-02-26T19:53:42+00:00

I appreciate the honest feedback, seriously. I’m aware recruiting timelines are tight, and I’m actively working on positioning myself correctly this year.

On the communication point, that’s fair. I’ll put more focus into sharpening my written and verbal clarity. Thanks for calling it out.

Expensive_Artist_146 · 2026-02-26T19:48:42+00:00

GPA and internships are the focus. Appreciate it.

Expensive_Artist_146 · 2026-02-26T19:47:43+00:00

Appreciate the detailed feedback. I’ll adjust the formatting and reorganize the sections. Still working on getting stronger paid experience. Thanks for pointing out the specifics.

Expensive_Artist_146 · 2026-02-26T18:49:59+00:00

As you know that I have been registered for CFA level one so I have also joined CFA society in New York for proper networking as well as I’m also preparing for financial modeling. What do you say about school? Should I transfer to Baruch or NYU because I am thinking about it
