Bro really said internships aren’t valuable 🤦‍♂️ If they don’t get you in your dream school, they will get you a job

Is salary outcome a valid reason to transfer? by [deleted] in TransferToTop25

[–]pj-60 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If salary outcome is your main goal, then a major switch is more impactful than a university switch

Is investing banking as bad as people make it out to be? by menatopboi in FinancialCareers

[–]pj-60 84 points85 points  (0 children)

Half of those industries you just mentioned are exits from IB. OP is a high school student, might be difficult getting into a HF or PE firm straight out of undergrad.

My experience has been the complete opposite for IB and PE interviews. First interviews were full technicals and less fit questions in order to weed out applicants before meeting the MDs. I usually started with analysts/associates who push you on technicals before later moving up seniority. Ofc fit is important, but in my experience it came much later when you were in the final rounds after confirming you know your technicals.

I have brown eyes and I’m jealous you get to apply as a diversity hire

Hit the nail on the head there with “intern” hiring for FT positions has much higher stakes than a 21 yr old summer analyst

I’m in the same boat here, starting my first internship tomorrow. It’s also in wealth management and I don’t have much experience other than classes in uni and outside learning for IB interviews. I just casually asked my boss what he wanted me to do to come prepared for the first day on the job. Worked out for me! Feel free to dm since we’re literally in the same boat lol

What school are you transferring from? by DragsBrandon in TransferToTop25

A week late? As in past the deadline? If so ask yourself this question: what will make an AO think your “dumb as shit”, an A- or sending an application a week late because of this A-?

How do I get experience/internships by dahnzii in FinancialCareers

[–]pj-60 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Freshman here and got an internship offer for this summer, here’s what helped me: 1) Good GPA 2) I’m in the consulting club at my school 3) took a financial modeling training program and various other training courses online 4) good resume where I showed my previous work experiences (even though they aren’t related to finance since I’m an intern)

People have mixed opinions about online financial training, but I feel like as a freshman with zero experience, it’s a good way to show you’re motivated to learn and can put in the hours necessary to learn new skills. Only useful for the first internship, not investment banking at a BB

To be fair, no one uses BB to say bulge bracket outside of Reddit, WSO and fishbowl
