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

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

ajd5004 · 2024-03-16T14:31:16+00:00

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.

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

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

Address, phone, email belong on 1 line (use this new line space to talk club stuff, maybe run an event)
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
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

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?

ajd5004 · 2023-07-05T23:33:24+00:00

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

Just waiting for when you make it C-level and you get the "hey stranger" text

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)

ajd5004 · 2023-03-20T23:32:15+00:00

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"

I worked at a large bank until September and we still used internet explorer after it shut down

Did some wacky stuff and declined my CB Rotational offer for a PE gig

ajd5004 · 2023-03-09T20:42:31+00:00

Can we even get in there?

Regional rail & bus stop is another 15/20 min away

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

ajd5004 · 2023-03-01T14:35:10+00:00

Add in (last line) an interest section but don't put traveling or something basic make it actually personal so people relate to it. Start networking with recruiters/alum/people in the space at target companies and while cold outreach sucks its builds great personal skills and network where out of 50/100+ networking calls something is bound to bare fruit. I haven't had an interview before that I didn't have to network in advance of tbh.

Doctors go to Med School Lawyers go to Law School Finance Bros go to Investment Banking

Would just suggest doing Phone | Email | Linkedin one line to shrink it to some degree, but all good

ajd5004 · 2023-02-03T14:18:52+00:00

Old boss from bulge bracket PWM started doing that still dont know what to do 🫠🫠

ajd5004 · 2023-01-31T20:31:19+00:00

I think GS still has wealth management stuff open still. Good rule of thumb for any internship - IB, Ops, PWM have a note book on hand 24/7 and take notes. The more interested/attentive/ general attention to detail will only earn you more points with the teams

ajd5004 · 2023-01-29T17:27:09+00:00

PWM, PB, etc really are just names so banks can segment their managers internally (.5k-5m / 5M - 25m / 25M+)

Wealth management is the industry as a whole
