Best resources/ things to do as a rising freshman
I’m going to the IU Kelley School as a DA this upcoming fall and was wondering what should I be doing now as a senior to get ahead with recruiting and preparation? Also is there any good resources anyone would recommend? Thanks a lot!
Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some strategic steps you can take as a rising freshman at IU Kelley to get ahead in recruiting and preparation:
Networking: Start building your network early. Connect with current students, alumni, and professors from IU Kelley, especially those involved in the Investment Banking Workshop. LinkedIn and school events are great platforms for this.
Academic Excellence: Maintain a strong GPA from the start. This is crucial as it forms a significant part of your profile for internships and job opportunities.
Join Relevant Clubs and Societies: Engage with finance or investment clubs at IU Kelley. These provide practical experience and networking opportunities. The Investment Banking Workshop is highly recommended, but involvement in any related club will be beneficial.
Internships and Practical Experience: Look for internships or summer analyst positions even in your freshman year. Any practical experience in finance or related fields can be incredibly beneficial.
Read Widely: Stay updated with financial news and read books related to finance and investment banking. Some recommended books include "Investment Banking: Valuation, Leveraged Buyouts, and Mergers & Acquisitions" by Joshua Rosenbaum and Joshua Pearl, and "The Intelligent Investor" by Benjamin Graham.
Utilize Online Resources: Wall Street Oasis itself is a treasure trove of information. Engage in forums, read up on advice from professionals, and consider taking online courses that can provide foundational knowledge and skills.
By starting early and being proactive in your approach, you can set a solid foundation for a successful career in investment banking or related fields.
