I would like someoneâ€s opinion about my chances of landing an Analyst position in the Investment Research division of a top 4 ibank. The ibank in question is doing a January 2008 uptake specifically for researchers. I applied a week ago and havenâ€t heard back yet.
The stats : 28 y/o with an undergrad in psychology (sorbonne france finished 05) and a master in management (scuola santâ€anna italy finished 06 – intro courses in accounting, corp fin, econ. etc) both non target schools. Following Nov 06 graduation I worked for a small management consulting firm in Italy for one year (I just finished there in fact). Why am I 28 – because I have two high school diplomas (baccalaurÃat and HS diploma – so I didnâ€t start University until age 21 – I moved to France at 19). I speak French, English and Italian fluently.
I am specifically wondering if I am just too old to be accepted or too unconventional. Would my age pose a problem for associates who are perhaps the same age ??? Obviously it would be ridiculous to consider a Sept 08 uptake – but the Jan 08 uptake seems within reason (technically one year after I graduated). Would knowing French or Italian possibly be in my favour in a research position?
ps: one banana to anyone who knows which cult film the line unconventional conventionist comes from...
I appreciate your help. Thank you. L
not good in NYC, decent in UK b/c of the languages, but you don't really have any discernible industry experience to crack the industry. I'd go for Europe b/c you don't really have a shot in NYC.
Also, you seem a bit weird, so that reduces your chances.
