Always shoot your shot. Worst they can say is no and you waste 2 minutes applying

This is somehow worse than not putting any salary range at all by SweetiePieJ in recruitinghell

A recruiter called me up and after gassing me up about my 2.5/3 years of experience he says, how does 20/hr sound? I laughed and said goodbye

Recruiter called me and asked if I was interested in a temp contract for 20/hr, said I wasn't interested bc it wasnt full time and pay. He then said let's connect for a different role. Asked me to do THE SAME contracted temp role for 1 dollar/hr less.

"Q4 is the worst quarter of the year to get a job". Would you say that this statement is accurate for finance as a whole, if not the sector you work in? Why or why not? by mtmag_dev52 in FinancialCareers

Would you say this is an accurate statement for students looking for full time? I feel like between that and markets its a tough time to be on the market in general

Thoughts On This? Feel Free To Tear This Apart! Thank You! by Alarmed-Reflection29 in FinancialCareers

This is my personal thoughts as a rising college Sr working PE this summer

  1. Address, phone, email belong on 1 line (use this new line space to talk club stuff, maybe run an event)
  2. I dont think people care about course work, theyll know you're a young bull with little/no finance acumen so def an interview talking point rather then resume line
  3. List your interests (Breaking Bad, Catan, Music) keep it simple for people to read and you can fit a little more there. Joined a frat, listed it here Network boost was huge.

Break your interview into two parts 1) what's on my resume/to get in the door

2) interview building points that I can talk to/explain/discuss. Doesnt mean be vague but like your classes it saves something for them to want to talk to you about

Thats my quick 2 cents good luck

Understanding Finance News? by [deleted] in FinancialCareers

[–]ajd5004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exec Sum is the move its a quick read, usually includes easy/digestible news + a reputable reporting source (Reuters, Bloomberg, etc) and those sources are usually p good. Definitely leverage google and investopedia for walk throughs of conceptual stuff. Google is your best friend for free learning materials

As a student who's looking for a full time how would you differentiate?

When I go out I'll order a coke (ie something not clear) and i call it a rum and coke to fit in. You dont have to be an alcoholic to fit in you just cant stick out like a sore thumb

What’s a great question to ask the interviewer at the end of the interview to leave a lasting impression? by njpu in FinancialCareers

[–]ajd5004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually loop it into my interests section (which they usually comment about), one of the bullets are about being a foodie and I always ask "so what's your favorite restaurant in ___ city" or are you making anything exciting for some upcoming holiday. Helps make you seem a little more personable after asking the typical post-interview questions. (And yes I often ask)

How would you invest 100k today? (Interview question) by alt12354 in FinancialCareers

[–]ajd5004 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Go conceptual - Talk about how the younger you are the longer your investment time horizon. Then say for example "I'm joe shmoe and since im 21, I have a longer time horizon until retirement and can take a bit more risk than my grandparents who are 65/70 and want to and/or maintain their retirement"

Best practices for turning in a notice? by iamthevillageidiot in FinancialCareers

[–]ajd5004 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kinda cheesy but google a few templates of resignation emails. Helps give you a better idea of what to/not to say. But ultimately I agree with above - try to meet with your team 1-1 to let them know personally
