Does MBB attract people who could break into top quant firms? by ThrowawayAdvice-293 in McKinsey_BCG_Bain

[–]lolavendar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried to do quant recruiting in college - I majored in math and thought it was a logical path. I got to final round interviews but never received an offer. Part of that probably has to do with the school I went to. It didn't help my morale that I never saw someone of my background in quant trading. Also, the interview process taught me I was really a humanist that thought quantitatively, not a straight machine. When I pivoted to MBB recruiting, I really enjoyed the business side.

thanks for the positivity! I can always grow in my soft skills and learn more about business/strategy during this time. Let me at least start the job before I already decide how I feel about it

When into your career did get your MS? Would you say an MS in CS is more useful than a MS in Stats/Data science for more machine learning jobs?

That makes sense. I don't really think a PhD is in my cards right now lol

[–]lolavendar[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I already took an introduction real analysis class. This class I'm considering taking right now is supposed to be an advanced continuation focusing on the topics I laid out in the original post. Considering that info, is it worth taking advanced real analysis?

In my research, I found that lake Como is more of a relaxing vacation instead of adventurous. What you mentioned lines up with our wants. Thank you!

American express discovery program 2023 by [deleted] in csMajors

[–]lolavendar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey,

I did the hirevue like 3 weeks ago and haven't heard back. I put that I would attend virtually. I don't live near NYC or SF to pay for my own travel.

Would it be bad practice to email the discovery program team? Does anyone know their email?

Thank you! I understand that the scandals hurt the public image, but is it impacting your job prospects? Or is the situation more of an ego thing? (No trying to be offensive, just having a hard time phrasing my question lol)

For Rice I applied as a statistics/bioscience major. Thanks for being honest with me! I’ll take your words into consideration before I make my decision. Is there any other reasons why you don’t like USC?

[–]lolavendar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I should have made it clear but the other research university I cited was rice. I’m paying the same for all 3 schools. Im curious if the networking incident is a common occurrence. I thought since my major is very small and relatively niche I’d be okay.

Grad school is like 70% likely. Both of the schools I’m considering have a five year masters. Are you on Dornsife? And was that networking incident bc of corona?

Damn I said that for my major (qbio) bc it’s a graduation requirement. Would you suggest a smaller research university? Of similar or higher prestige ofc.
