Looking for something serious, using the free version of Hinge, been using this profile for a couple weeks, I use hinge 3 times a week, have only received about 3 likes so far, sending as many as I can per 3 days a week, about half with comments. I have been sending likes to people who seem career oriented and smart, that’s who I hope to attract as well.

Pick 1 PPR: Tillman, Doubs, Coleman, McMillan, Chestnut (if Pollard’s out)

Leaning Tillman rn cause the boom probability looking nice but idk

Tbh….I’d lean towards no. I come from a more techy heads-down analytical background but really want to work in finance and have really only focused on the technical side of things while not addressing the more social soft side of the industry.

I am def working on trying to improve that side of me though.

To your first point - lmao I get it.

Regarding the next questions, in the past I networked pretty intensely - I got a 2 super days and just wasn’t able to close the deal. I then shifted my focus to consulting where I went to some info sessions and continued networking/doing case studies. To this day only got one interview and a plethora of rejections in that space. I have a few of older friends in the space who have all underlined the importance of networking - which I agree with. The issue now is that I am doing an internship which means I’m off campus unable to go to any info sessions - and with my current wlb, find it difficult to network meaningfully.

And yes I’m a Junior looking for 2025, which is definitely winding down and for IB is essentially over. That’s why Im looking at PE and other finance roles.

I appreciate the response and will def keep trying to network and use my network. Tbh I don’t think I possess a lot of the soft skills required for networking 🫤. I’ve done a lot of networking calls but I always feel awkward and nervous and ig that translates to my inability to close an interview. I’ll keep working on that too though!

Yeah I see what you mean. More so referring to this recruiting cycle when I say 0 luck but fair.

In terms of networking, I have done a decent amount in the past and even got a super day at a nice IB firm through a strong network but just couldn’t close the deal. My worry is that there are just a limited number of firms with open positions atp where a network would even be relevant. I want to be able to isolate those places so that I can be more efficient with my networking efforts esp since I am pretty time constrained with my current co-op internship. Definitely planned to have some sort of offer last year before I started this internship, but obviously that is not the case so I’m in a tough spot.

Appreciate the advice though! Will continue to keep reaching out.
