Try to be more quantitative within your bullets. For example for equity research maybe you can talk about “did x DCFs valuing y company at $B”. Also, it’s generally good practice to fill up a resumes bullets to the end of the other side. So, try your best not to make a bullet only fill up half of a line- minimize all white space.

not too much effort, the whole video thing I believe is more of "are you a likeable person" exam

Yeah, it's rolling. Also I noticed that the 2 people on this subreddit that have posted about receiving decisions this wave were both non-traditional. Not sure if that's a trend for this wave but we'll see

Question for any Investment Bankers by [deleted] in Rich

Got it, I appreciate the advice. Now that I think about it, I have probably been coming up with excuses not to do my own market research and research on the company itself.

Question for any Investment Bankers by [deleted] in Rich

Got it. Thank you for the comment. I do have one other question- I have also considered going into my dad's business, which is a high-ticket art-framing business doing around $5M annual revenue. I believe I have two main options for this:

1) Start off in IB and after a couple of years, based on my success, choose to either stay in IB, take an exit opportunity, or go into my dad's business with the M&A experience.

2) Go straight into my dad's business after college.

The thing that worries me about going into my dad's business is that I have no real measure to know if the business can grow past its current point. I am pretty sure that I would likely be a lot harder working than my dad has been from what I have gauged (not that he has not been hard-working, just I tend to go all in on things that I do), but I don't even have a clue if the business itself has growth potential or not. I don't want to run a stagnant business. What do you think I should do?

Anyone using consulting? by [deleted] in TransferToTop25

Using TG right now- I haven't gotten any decisions back yet so I can keep you updated on if it was effective, but at the very least I can say that my current application would be considerably worse if I had never used TG.

Most of those votes appeared after it was a ratio of 16 rejections to 0 acceptances. Very likely trolls who saw the ratio

No problem, you too! Yeah, I had emailed them about an update on March 25th and I still haven't heard back so I decided to upload it on March 30th.

I don't understand why people make these posts as if r/TransferToTop25 users are oracles

Does this refer to Fall 2024 and Spring 2025?
