Can I get into investment banking from non target school?
I will be attending UW-oshkosh this fall, and want to get into investment banking. I realize that Oshkosh is not a target school, so I was wondering how I can't get into IB still. I read that if I graduate from Oshkosh, work 2-3 years, then go get and MBA at a target school, I can get a job as an associate. Is that true? and where would I have to work for those 2-3 years. Also are there investment banking jobs in Wisconsin? and are those less competitive then New York jobs? I just feel stuck because I didn't try in high school, so couldn't get into a target school, and now it seems like my chances are very slim of getting into IB. If anyone with experience or knowledge on this can help me out that'd be great.
1) Stop feeling bad for yourself 2) Kick ass your freshman year (4.0, clubs, etc)
3) Transfer to a better school and kick ass at your new school

No, bai boi
Non-Target to BB IBD (Originally Posted: 05/02/2015)
Dudes, I've recently accepted an offer to a BB IBD group after 2 years of absolute torture in terms of uncertainty and leverage. Here's the background:
After roughly three months in the sales org at this firm (global leader in energy management solutions, think Siemens, Eaton, ABB, Schneider Electric, etc..) I realized the deals weren't as lucrative/exciting and I wanted to be challenged in the early stages. Obvious answer: banking.
I had zero connections in the industry, or in any industry for that matter, and decided I needed a formal education in finance to make the transition...
Began applying for MSF and MSFE programs in late February (nearing the deadline for most top programs) and was fortunately admitted to my top two choices. I eventually decided on a program and quit my job (I had just been promoted and was making quality money). This was a 10-month program that was supposed to turn me into an investment banker with zero prior experience........
Immediately after relocating I started networking with every firm I could find in the area that was even remotely associated with finance. I'd had no prior internship or full-time experience in the industry and was looking for anything to help compliment my coursework. I eventually took a part-time internship with a local VC firm, working for free.....
I interviewed with several BB's during fall recruiting, but received no offers. Extremely defeating, especially given the rigor of the program that was only beginning. Just kept the nose to grindstone, networked my face off, and ultimately got a position through a faculty reference and some elbow grease.
Doesn't really make sense to me at this point. Everyone on this site and others said it was impossible, but I somehow pulled it off. I just hope other people reading don't get discouraged and keep the end in mind. Don't allow yourself to get distracted by things entirely accessory to your goal.
Thanks for sharing your story, congrats
Congratulation. Its not easy when you have uncertainty.
Congrats!
Congrats buddy!
Congrats. And that last bit is so relevant for any non target alum- be able to handle constant rejection.
(Please Delete)
Mind sharing a little bit about the MSF program you're coming from? How did your peers do in recruiting? Where did it "rank"?
According to some earlier post I found, think:
Tier 1A Claremont McKenna, Vanderbilt, WUSTL, Virginia
A majority of my peers are international students. It has been difficult for them to find placements. American students do well assuming they know how to interview/network.
congrats, also interested in some more specifics about the program.
Thanks. Program is pretty rigorous, especially the first semester when you're balancing the coursework alongside the recruiting process. Every class you're in has a mix of MBA (graded pass/fail) and MSF's (graded on GPA scale) so that makes for an interesting dynamic. MSF's are working 4-5x as hard as MBA's IMO. Definitely like drinking from a firehose the first 5-6 months.
Congrats! I'm assuming this was for a FT position?
Thanks, Yes it was an FT position.
What MSF program was it? If you aren't comfortable telling us the school, can you at least give us an indication of similar programs to the one you attended?
Yeah I guess it would fall in this category according to a post I found earlier:
Tier 1A Claremont McKenna, Vanderbilt, WUSTL, Virginia
I have always wondered how many of these success stories are complete BS or relatively large exaggerations. I feel like this one may be an example of the latter.
Apologies for the late response. Definitely not BS or exaggerated.
So when I have nothing better to do, I enjoy trying to track down these success stories. I usually never mention anything when I get a hit, but this one I have to call out b/c I'm an alumnus of the school. I have a contact at the school and (s)he confirmed with me that this guy did not get BB, nor did he get IBD. He got non-IBD at an arguably soft MM bank (in the Midwest). My contact was also concerned that this guy was making public posts that were blatantly false that could so easily be traced back to the school.
I say all of this because I hope those of you still in undergrad (or out of undergrad for that matter) realize how easily you can **ck up your reputation by one narcissistic post on an internet forum. It will be interesting to hear if any of this gets back to his future employer or the school. I out this guy because finance, especially IB, is built upon trust and respect and if you can't even cultivate those attributes anonymously on the internet then IMO your veil deserves to be pulled away.
For those of you who think I am possibly just trolling, look up the characteristics he mentioned on LinkedIn. He literally mentions the company's he has worked for and the school he goes to - all in the midwest (hint: worked on the shores of Lake Michigan, went to undergrad where the hawks have eyes and are black/gold, grad school along the Mississippi river). Thats how I found him. Per WSO user guidelines, I can't actually link his profile, but its easy enough to find. Just watch it over the next couple months and see if I am right.
Chill out bro. How did you even find his school and work experience? This is some impressive detective work.
Cheers to you my friend. You put your mind to it and received exactly what you put in.
People on this site drive me insane sometimes - telling stories of how impossible the transition is / how you need to go to XYZ University to be even remotely considered... That is just absolutely absurd! Hard work, possessing an interest to learn, common sense, a TON of networking, and having a hard enough head to keep swinging until you land one is all that is required!
I went to a non-target state school and didn't know what investment banking was until my senior year of college. I realized quickly that it was exactly where I needed to be. So I worked at it - networking, reading, and surrounding myself in the industry. Boom, a year later I stick it to the man and land a job that I would have never dreamed of.
Buck, you just get it. Congrats to you my friend. Keep up the crushing.
Congrats, sounds well-deserved. I hope that the position is all you desired and more. Your story is a bit of an inspiration for me; I'm currently debating whether to go to NYU for my MBA (admitted for the fall full-time) to career switch into equity research from a non-finance background (policy analysis and compliance). Given your experience, would you recommend MFE/MSF programs over the MBA for this? I face a similar situation to you in that I have a comfortable, well-paying job now, so it would entail opportunity cost and risk for sure. What specific hustle and networking strategies did you find most helpful? Reaching out to alumni? Faculty connections? Just cold reaching out to target firms?
Which MSF program. I'm somewhat in the same position, deciding between a MSF or MBA.
How to break into IB as a senior non-target school student (Originally Posted: 01/07/2018)
Hi guys, I'm a senior at a non-target UC school (GPA: 3.7). No IB work experience. I've been studying IB skills such as modeling. I can stay for one or two more quarters at school if it's helpful for me to break into investment banks. Can you guys give me some advice on how to locate my first intern/position in an IB? Alos, I've been doing networking on LinkedIn, but I find it hard to actually locate a position by doing it. Can you guys also give me some suggestion on that? Thank you in advance, guys!!
You need to do at least one internship (preferably two) before anyone will think about hiring you as an analyst. As for studying IB skills, you do not really need to do that unless you like learning thing twice, because they will train you about all that stuff when you do the internship. The main reason they say that you must do an internship is because they do not want to have to train you on those basic things when you start as a first-year analyst. As for recruiting, you can go to the companies' sites and apply there, but I would say networking is the best way. Networking can include things like information sessions with bankers, superdays, etc. As far as linkedin, you can follow banks such as Piper Jaffray, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, and so on. But alumni from your school is a really good source. get connected with them because they have personal connections with the banks that you want to apply to and this can give you an advantage.
There is a page called searching for a summer internship under the IB forum on WSO. Search for it because it has the names of many banks ranging from bulge-brackets to boutiques. You can use this list and search the names in that list on linkedin and follow them. This will allow them to notify you when openings come up. Also, there is a site called Mergers and Inquisitions that has many good articles on getting hired and the like. That being said, let me know if you have any other questions, and good luck!
More information on your Major/prior internships would be helpful.
At this stage in the game, it's going to be a huge uphill battle to land IB post grad. Staying at school for another 2 quarters is definitely helpful so that way you can qualify for 2018 summer internships, but most everywhere is done recruiting for that already. Your best bet would be to look at very small/no-name boutiques with alumni you can network with. Good luck
EDIT: forgot to address the part on how to actually connect with people on LinkedIn... usually the best strategy for that would be to find them through LinkedIn (using their search feature w/ school designation) and then emailing them directly at their work email address (pretty much every companies format could be found online - ie [email protected]). Much more effective than depending on LinkedIn messages only with the hope they actually respond.
Honestly it never seems like in my experience that LinkedIn worked. It was face to face connections that worked for me, but that may be different for you guys.
Interested in IBD Corporate Derivatives from a non-target (Originally Posted: 11/11/2012)
Hello all,
I'm curious if anyone has more information about SA recruiting process for IBD derivatives. The group helps corporate/government clients manage FX and rates risk exposures.
I got very interested in this desk while doing an IBD internship last summer in Hong Kong. However, most banks doesn't do recruiting at my school. Anyone care to offer some advice how to break in as well?
Many thanks in advance!
It normally sits within ECM/DCM with DCM doing most derivs and ECM doing equity derivs. Typically team names will be something like "Strategic Equity Derivatives" or "Corporate Equity Derivatives" on the equity side and "Corporate Risk Solutions" on the debt side. I don't think they do a lot of work with governments, there's no need for any of that stuff to be done on the private side, with the exception of EQD hedging of remaining stakes in privatisations etc.
Don't know much about the US recruiting process unfortunately. In Europe, they either recruit separately (rarely) or from within the S&T pool. Usually the IBD skillset is not that compatible with the team so it might not be the best way in.
A lot of corporate clients are covered out of S&T as well, so you're probably better off looking there than at IBD if in terms of interests that's what you want to go for.
IB Firms that hire from non target schools (Originally Posted: 03/21/2011)
I was wondering what IB's in NY hire from non target schools? My friend got a job at Barclays as an analyst from graduating from Loyola MD. Does Barclays hire often from non target schools often?
All of the banks do. You have to be a top student.
Also, you didn't mention whether or not this was for a front office or back office position. Banks look at a completely different set of schools when filing back office positions.
JPMorgan recruits some front office from Baruch
From an inside contact, the ones recruited by JPM from Baruch were for Equity research and Risk, not IBD nor S&T.
Yes, you can definitely get a position at a bulge or top boutique coming from a non-target (though bulges are easier b/c they take more people on as analysts). You may need to network harder to get your resume in front of someone but a top candidate is a top candidate.
Also, many top liberal arts schools are non-targets but banks regularly hire people from those places. At the end of the day, it's just much easier for a bank to spend its time recruiting at a larger school like Cornell where hundreds of kids are interested in banking than to go look for the ten kids (not an exact number) at Swarthmore who are interested.
All banks will take some non-target candidates. To break in though, you need to be a stand-out, either on paper (academically, extracurriculars, or stacked experience) or in person by networking like a legend. At my GS superday there was a girl from Manhattan College, I live in the city and literally hadn't heard of it, and I know some kids in the year ahead of me had kids from outside semi-targets and non-targets in their analyst class as well. Anything is possible.
.
Ok that is good to hear thanks for the info. I currently have a job in accounting but want to try to have some investment banking experience before I go back to school for my MBA. Will 2 years of work experience kill my chances for an entry level analyst posistion? I start working at the company in the fall and plan on trying to work in their M&A and business valuation department if this makes any difference.
Networking will make the difference, but I would do it fast. More work experience will make it even harder to come in as an analyst.
Even with 2 years work exp, you will need to look mostly at boutiques. Most BBs have very limited opportunities outside of their standard recruiting process.
At lesser BBs, you could potentially get in as a lateral hire with a strong contact and killer interview. Unfortunately, most GS/MS/etc. lateral hires will be people from banks a tier down looking to move up, and even transaction services won't let you compete with people who have actual banking experience.
Yea I would be happy to work for a boutique I would like any banking experience before I go to business school "hopefully Wharton" so this way I have a better chance for an associate posistion in a BB after getting my MBA
What's more difficult: Breaking into NYC BB IBD from a complete non-target, or running a marathon (Originally Posted: 02/11/2017)
Both are quite difficult. One requires grit, charisma, and a lot of luck. The other can be achieved after following a linear training routine for a number of months.
Discuss
Kid from complete nontarget with a chance at MM/BB here.
There is almost nothing harder than breaking into a NYC BB from a nontarget assuming you have no resources and have to do it from scratch. Start your freshman year with all knowledge and help? Doable.
I have had 1 day of free time in the last 2-3 years. Everything else is a constant grind. Wake up at 6AM every day, and if I am lucky I get to bed by 10PM (I am not very lucky). Those 16 hours? 90-100% of that is work... every single day. And you know what happens when I try to have fun? The gnawing thought of having to do homework and then if projects I could be doing. Kills anything. No matter how hard I work I will always be behind the kid who got went to a target school and has never known what it is like to work and go to school. He got a freshman internship at a firm that won't even look at my school.
On the other hand I worked up to 13 miles in 3-4 weeks from never running at all.
Imagine non-target international folks
Breaking into IB is much harder. The difference is: you run a marathon for yourself (just have to complete it) and in IB, you have to convince other people that you can run the marathon (kiss ass, are competent, responsible, etc.). Persuading other people, while there are much more attractive candidates is the hardest thing you can possibly do, imo.
solid points
Breaking into IBD is most definitely harder. To break into IBD you have to have at least two of these to get an interview, if you miss two, than you have no chance. 1.Went to Target 2.Fantastic Grades 3.Networked you ass off
ALSO you have to have been planning this since about sophomore or junior year. You can run a marathon at any point in your life.
Investment Banking Recruiting from a Non Target - Should I get a Masters in Finance (Originally Posted: 05/04/2016)
Hi, I'm currently a student at Santa Clara University and am aspiring to become a professional in a field such as investment banking. I want to know about the options I have in terms of pursuing job opportunities in a field such as investment banking. I know that I come from a non target school, and so its going to be a lot tougher for me to even get my foot in the door in terms of investment banking. A lot of advice on these forums suggest that I need to engage in a lot of networking in order to try and land myself in a finance related internship, and that if I work hard enough and get a good gpa, that it is possible that I could find my way into a good investment banking internship and eventually a job after graduation. While this is certainly a viable path, I was wondering if another option I could pursue would be to try and graduate early (2 and a half semesters) and then go to a good masters in finance/financial engineering program like Haas. The downside to pursuing this path is that I may not get into a good program. I've been told that masters programs want students to spend more time in college, so that they can do more internships and get involved in research, before the students go to the masters program. For now, lets assume I can get the grades and an internship, but may not have the time to complete solid research before graduating ( I don't mean to sound cocky in saying I can get good grades, its purely a hypothetical situation). In the long term, would it be better to try and finish college early and then attend a masters program with enough prestige that I could more easily get into investment banking, or would it be better for me to stay for four years and risk not getting into investment banking after graduation. I've been told that investment banks don't like older employees at the entry level, so that would be a reason I wouldn't go through the entire four years and then get the masters. I recognize that my experience in this area is very limited at the moment, and was wondering if anyone with experience could give me more insight into the option that I should pursue.
You will have a better chance of landing a full time IB offer by bolstering your resume now with internships, participating in the school's investment management club, etc. and networking than running straight into a sub par masters program with no work experience.
If you have a good GPA and school involvement a MM or boutique bank internship will not be too far out of reach (still will require a lot of work) which will most likely turn into a full time offer or can be later leveraged into an offer at a more desirable bank later on. Depending on what year you are in school (if a freshmen or sophomore) your sole focus should be on landing internships, in my opinion.
Non-Target Sophomore chances at IB w/small network (Originally Posted: 06/29/2017)
....................................................................................................
Thanks for the encouragement. I'm definitely not going to stop networking but I'm really not sure why my response rate is so low. Am I too late on the recruitment timeline?
Wait a minute, did Goldstein just give constructive advice?
It is quite a bit late for the recruiting in my opinion, not to say that it's impossible, but it's just a late. Most BB's and EB's (from what I've heard/read/seen) start recruiting for summer junior year around December - May the year before.
If you've exhausted your options in terms of BB's and EB's I would look into other regional banks and firms. There's plenty of them out there and your experience would definitely get notice. Along with that keep in mind that it's not just BB's and EB's that get full time offers. You'll read across this website, plenty of stories of people breaking into IBD with diverse backgrounds and different experience. Don't count yourself out, but work hard on networking.
Best of luck
.
You should be fine, don't overthink it. Keep reaching out to boutiques & MM IBs, add associates and analysts on linkedin (or just email) and PM them asking to meet and learn about the firm. A common mistake is asking them to push along your resume, my advice (take it with a grain of salt if you want) is do NOT do this. Learn what you can, talk about non-IB things (not everyone working 90+ hours a week wants to discuss banking further in their free time), and try come across as a motivated and driven individual. Keep reaching out multiple times (Up to 3-4, waiting 2 weeks in between each message/email), always be polite and respectful, and just keep at it. I come from a non-target with a similar GPA and it took reaching out to 50+ firms before I found my PE internship, and i reached out to 75+ guys on linked in. To be fair, a lot (40+) of guys from my non-target break into IB, so I had a pretty high response rate on linkedin. In the end, my personal cover letter and ambition (not my networking abilities) got me the position, but this is relatively rare. You have great experience, a good GPA, and you just need to keep trying.
Reach the mountain top: Keys to Break into Investment Banking as a Nontarget (specifically as a Summer Analyst :) ) Part I (Originally Posted: 11/21/2014)
Hey Guys,
I've been a long time searcher on WSO, and decided that I wanted to join a couple months ago and help contribute to all the wonderful advice on this website. First thing's first: If you are currently reading the content on this website, even an article a day, you are already ahead of 80% of the competition. Today I really wanted to share with you a few of the tips that I feel can get nontarget students through the door. Coming from one myself (solid HS GPA, sterling SAT scores, but didn't want to do IB back then, and didn't know the hole target an nontarget dichotomy. Did go to a state school with a awesome party scene though lol), I know that it's a tough ride, but one that can be overcome with the right tools. Without further ado, here's my list/progresson of the tasks you should do to prepare (We'll call this part to Mountain Trail):
Summer of Sophomore year (June 2014)--> begin reaching out to people through cold emailing. Try to send out approximately 15-20 a day, and try to do it at the same time consistently over a period of time. It's the matter of repetition and routine structure. If you decide to shoot out 100 a day for 3 days, that's great, but definitively not something you could keep up. You should continue to cold email like this over the course of 12 weeks throughout the summer.
Beginning of Junior Year (September 2014)---> 12 weeks in, you should have accumulated around 900-1200 emails. Assuming that you have had a conservative 10% hit rate, that would mean that you should have gotten a chance to chat with 90-120 folks over the summer across multiple banks. Here's where things get interesting.
When you get on the call, ask good questions and make sure to center the conversation on them and their career. Bankers enjoy speaking about themselves, and if you can interject with an intelligent question about the flow of conversation, BOOM! you are an expert conversationalist. At the end of the conversation, ask them referrals to other bankers, and most of the time, they would be happy to refer you to a friend or two. This would double or triple your network to around 200-300 bankers. Now you're making serious headway. (that, and the guy on the other line with leave the conversation thinking "man, what a great guy." you can be sure that they will remember you from the other faceless nameless candidates when that pile of 300 college kids is on their desk at 1:46 am in the morning.
I understand that I'm boring you at this point, so apologies for this, but I'm almost done, so please bear with me for a little longer. Now that you have 200-300 contacts across a good 8-10 banks, make sure to reach out to them every 3-4 weeks with an intelligent question about the markets (moneybeat and dealbook are great), a holiday (happy 4th/labor day/thanksgiving), or just down to earth coversation (one of the guys that I first met were going at it about van halen vs. metallica lol). This transitions you from another candidate leecher to a friend/colleague that they'd want in their group. It's like making friends for the most part, guys. Make Friends with Bankers, and they will naturally gravitate towards you. Try to get something from them, and you will walk away empty handed. Will you encounter people with holes in their ass? Sure you will (I followed up with one guy about 6 times before he finally asked me for my resume. After that, we set up time for a call at 10. I was late 10 minutes because I was in a conference call for my supervisor at my past internship, but he wasn't having it despite my remorse. I immediately got grilled on obscure technical questions that I had no idea of at the time. Got chewed out pretty good, but in hindsight, was pretty funny to be honest. Maybe he was having a bad day??)
Anyway, now it's time: It's November 2014, and you are super confident at this point. It's time for you to make a weekend trip to meet some of these guys. Make sure to let them know a few weeks in advance, because they will cancel on you because of the nature of their work.If you are lucky, it could lead to a site visit (met a guy in NY for coffee, but.......
I'll stop there at Part I, just because I don't want to inconvenience anyone or lose anyone's attention with the wording. Will be sure to put up part II if there's positive feedback (hate to dilute any of the good topics on this blog.)
Ciao, AlphaQ
Thanks for the tips. Do you mind sharing on what you did during your sophomore summer?
Ah dear :)
I wanted to bump an article I wrote many years ago to see if it would be of help to folks. Truthfully, I wouldn't express the commentary of the above in the same language (frankly the writing comes across as a bit overzealous and a bit over the top, ha), but I think most of the above is still applicable in all respects.
Advice on getting into a Charlotte investment bank from a non-target? (Originally Posted: 06/03/2015)
This fall I will be a freshman at University of North Carolina-Charlotte, which is a complete non-target school. I only chose this school because I was given a full ride, and I couldn't disregard that offer considering I came from a financially disadvantaged background. I'll be majoring in economics, and I'm aiming for a 3.5+ GPA. What steps should I take to break into investment banking in the Charlotte area? I don't mind working at a no-name boutique as long as I get the experience. I also plan on doing a top 20 MBA once I gain a few years of experience.
To be honest, I'd try to crush it your first year and transfer to Chapel Hill. Charlotte banks love Chapel Hill grads and I can't say I've seen a ton of UNC-C resumes pop up on team pages.
You can't "plan on a top 20 MBA" as a freshman, really. What you can do is aim for a 4.0 and transfer after one to two years as SECfinance said. Focus on the now.
By the time he gets around to applying for MBAs, the schools outside the top 7-10 will be so obsolete that they'll probably be taking just about anyone who applies. But then again, it won't even really be that helpful since it will be obsolete.
regardless of transfers, etc., networking now can't hurt. might as well give it a shot
For your freshman year you should focus on getting good grades, getting involved in one social organization and one professional organization (try to get a leadership posotion), and start trying to find an internship which is applicable to what you want to do in the future.
The good grades will help for future requirements, the social and professional organizations will help serve as resume fillers, and the internship will help you figure out if you actually want to do something as a career.
Yeah, I was thinking about transferring to Chapel Hill after my freshman or sophomore year. Once I'm in CH, then what should I do?
Continue to get good grades, leadership positions, internship, etc.
Additionally, get drunk and get laid. Don't do needle drugs. Life advice.
Focus on good grades and boobs, you'll be fine

Chance of breaking into IB given stats at a non target (Originally Posted: 11/30/2016)
Hi, I am a junior, I have a 4.0 GPA majoring in supply chain management with a fortune 50 internship in the supply chain field, won a business case competition, and have leadership experience serving as an Resident assistant in a dorm. However, I am from a target (The university of Tennessee) where we have a prestigious supply chain program, but aren't known for finance. Will I be able to have a chance at still getting interviews in IB, or will my best bet be to just network the hell out of it, and hope for the best.
Walk over to the finance dept and see if there is an investment banking group.
I got my interviews by literally walking over to the finance department and sending my resume with similar credentials to the alumni group. That's the easiest way. I was also at a complete non-target. There were 8-12 of us total I believe that were trying to break in in the total >30k person school.
Unfortunately, the University of Tennessee is a non-target, so you're going to have to network pretty hard to get interviews. I typed up a networking overview a week ago that you might find helpful.
I would also see if there are any boutique IBs close to where you are and try to get an internship during the school year to get some relevant experience under your belt. Good luck.
depends, unless your chill to pull ratio is at least a 5:5, you might as well throw in the towel
Junior at Non-target trying to get into IBD/AM (Originally Posted: 02/28/2018)
I am a junior at a private liberal arts college, and my long term goals are to be in IB or Asset Management. I have a good GPA at 3.95 with strong extracurriculars as well. I've had decent internships the past two years (Tax stuff at a CPA, Credit Analyst at a local bank) and this summer I have an internship at a BB. The only problems are that (1) it is in the finance department(haven't been placed into a team yet though) and not in the IBD and (2) it is not in a major financial city.
Any tips from people that have gone through similar experiences? I got my BB internship because of an alumni connection, but I don't know of anyone from my school that has gone into IB. I also am considering going to business school after undergrad, in order to expand my network and try to work an alumni connection again.
Thanks!
what kind of LAC are we talking? NESCAC/Haverford type? Bucknell or below that?
Centennial Conference -- probably a step below Bucknell but I'm in the college's honors program and a triple major (German, Business, and Accounting)
From a non target and broke into IB. One thing I’ve realized about IB and “high finance” is that they could give a fuck if you triple majored.
You’re better off majoring in art history at Yale hahahah.
Just keep grinding and you’re good.
Nothing wrong with that-- I got waitlisted at Dickinson and Muhlenberg, between you and me, though I've never really been a good student. The thing about small LACs is that you always have to explain yourself to laypeople. Sometimes I wished I could just carry around the US News rankings, so I could be like "It's number 29, look!" Point: Use your alumni network in light of the weaker college brand name.
Try planting the IB & relo seeds early on in your internship, so that when are you given a return offer, your goals are well-established. They're both unlikely opportunities, but you should still shoot your shot. Otherwise, I think a CFA or MBA would be required to make the move to IB.
How to get an interview from a complete non-target with no alumni in IB (Originally Posted: 06/10/2016)
So, I finished my undergrad degree a few weeks ago and about to start 1-year MBA program in September. (it's a 5 year program at my school for finance). I understand that I should be recruiting for an analyst position obviously since nobody would hire me as an associate with no experience. I have had 2 no name boutique internships and SA at no name REPE firm. (3.9 GPA) I bought BIWS training and have a pretty good understanding of technicals and can answer most of the questions from the guide. The problem is that I am afraid I wont have a chance to interview because no banks recruit at my school. I have reached out to hundreds of people on LinkedIn and through emails asking for a phone call to talk about their experience. Most of the time, I get responses saying that I should apply online on their website (blackhole) or they simply dont asnwer. I am also aware that majority of FT class comes from SA's. I am an international student as well, so very small regional boutiques would never sponsor me. Thanks for any advice.
Keep networking as hard as you can. It is a game of numbers, see if you can improve your approach to newtorking and keep pushing until you get what you want. Unfortunately, there is no magic formula.
Get creative. Instead of alumni, start looking for other commonalities. A good place to start would be if you can find anyone who is from the same country you are from.
Drop out of the MBA program ASAP. Literally the worst thing you could do is use up your MBA at a school that will literally provide you nothing.
No bank that sponsors internationals is going to hire someone for an analyst role from a no-name 1 year MBA program
What makes you say so?
6 Steps to Guarantee IBD from a Non-Target (Originally Posted: 10/08/2014)
My background: Non-target to BB DCM SA in NYC to 3 FT IBD offers.
I believe there are 6 steps that can virtually guarantee a non-target to break into the industry. The caveat is that some of these steps may not be attainable to every individual.
1) Network: You've read it a million times on WSO and hear if every day from your career counselors, but it truly is the only way to get a look from firms that don't recruit at your school. Find alumni on LinkedIn, find connections of alumni on LinkedIn, find people that share interests with you on LinkedIn. Talk to anyone you can. I probably had 50 phone conversations with people in the industry before SA recruiting rolled around. Without those connections I would have not made it in the door at any of the shops I interviewed with.
2) GPA: A strong GPA gives you credibility if your school will not. Keep your grades up, especially Freshman and Sophomore year. Don't overload your schedule, don't triple major, don't take the hardest classes first. School (particularly non-STEM majors) is a game, and it's all about how smart you are at playing the system. I had numerous contacts tell me that they wouldn't have been able to vouch for me if I didn't have the marks to back it up.
3) Brand Name Companies: Relevant experience is crucial, but having brand name companies on your resume can also be very beneficial. It also can help you land some relevant experience in the future. Who cares if you didn't do any modeling or work on deals, having a F100 company (doesn't need to be finance) is just another checkmark of credibility. BB PWM after your freshman year is a great start, or the finance department of a brand name company.
4) Relevant Experience: Regional IB/PE/HF/VC is ideal, but even relevant experience for a investing group where you performed valuation analyses on companies can go a long way. The key is doing something that shows a progression towards IB (ideally have this experience AFTER your brand name experience).
5) Know Your Shit: This should be a given, but once you complete steps 1-4 and are able to land SA interviews, you need to know your shit. Buy the guides, know them forward and backwards. The last thing you want to do is work your way into an interview and then confirm their speculations that you are dumber than the core school kids and they don't recruit at your school for a reason.
6) Be Personable/Normal: This may be the most important (and probably the only one that may not be attainable to everyone). But it is huge. Once you get into an interview you have to show the interviewers that you are human and not a robot. This is all about your EQ and not your IQ. People don't want to work with people that they can't connect with socially. Don't be so uptight and try to actually have a conversation with the person interviewing you -- preferably about something NOT related to banking.
Hopefully this post wasn't too harsh, and hopefully it is a little bit helpful. I have had a lot of people ask me lately about breaking in, and I wanted to lay it out in some easy steps that IF YOU DO, you will make it. Of course, you can make it in without following these steps, but it will only be more difficult.
I know these aren't in order, but the GPA and the Brand Names should be switched in importance. You can network with a 3.9 GPA and if you don't have ANYTHING which stands out, it gets EVEN harder to network and land that job. A brand name such as American Airlines/Kohls/(you get the point) at least allow them to give you a subconscious "nod" towards some recognition.
I listed them in more of a step-by-step order -- i.e. you can start networking and working on the GPA from day 1. The experience will follow, then come the ibd interviews.
Thanks for the solid advice
Good choice for IB among Non-target school (Originally Posted: 10/09/2014)
I am currently a senior and looking for advice about college. To be honest I know there is no chance I could get into a target school like Columbia or Michigan. I understand how hard it is to do IB from a non target school but I still need to find a place that is relatively good. From my perspective I can get into schools like Rutgers, U of Madison or U of Indiana. The thing is I love NYC so I wanna apply for Baruch, Fordham, and Yeshiva(I am not Jewish). Personally I will choose Baruch instead of Rutgers, is that the right thing to do?
Baruch is a solid place to go. It has strong placement across all the BB, and It's in the middle of Manhattan which puts you at an advantage from a networking perspective. Also consider, Villanova, UVA, UNC Chapel Hill, Williams College and Amherst. They have strong placement on the street
agreed. I like to say im a student at Baruch and theres strong placement as of now. Before that wasn't the case a couple years back. Just like in NYU, you have to reach out to fellow bankers on linkedin, alumni base, etc. That's what I am doing rather than just applying like everyone else. Goodluck and I hope you make the best decision for you. Btw is half the cost of Columbia and NYU. To each his own. There are a few target kids that disagree.
Not sure I follow this. If they can't get into Columbia, what makes you think Williams or Amherst are any easier.
Its starting to look like BO to FO now at Baruch.
I was in the same situation as you coming out of high school, ended up transferring to my states top public school (Umich, Virginia, Berkeley) and am currently a junior majoring in econ. Transferring is really common at large states school like the ones mentioned. If you want specifics you can pm me.
Second this. Go to the best school you can get into and plan on transferring from day one by keeping your grades perfect and getting involved in some cool activities. You may end up changing your mind and deciding there's no need to transfer but if you do those things, it will be very achievable to get into a public target like those mentioned above.
Thanks for all the replies. Appreciated.
If I could go back, I'd do my best freshman year and push for a winter transfer of my sophomore year to a target school. Whether you go to Baruch or any other school, keep the GPA above 3.5.
If I go to a non-target school, do I still have a chance at investment banking? (Originally Posted: 05/17/2016)
Sorry if this post is kind of long.
I'm quite young. I'm only a junior in high school, and I've always wanted to go into engineering. But after joining my robotics club, I've really decided engineering is not for me. It was more of my parents pushing me to become something.
Recently, I've decided that business and finance interests me far more than engineering, medicine, or most other fields. After some searching I stumbled upon investment banking, and I've been doing a lot of research and reading tips. The industry is good, exit opportunities look good, and salary looks great. Everything looks very good (at least on paper), and the long working hours are, to me, simply a trade off. You can't get everything.
I want to maximize my chances and as I've been reading many articles and guides, I've noticed that a lot of Investment Banks only hire from certain target schools, and that it is nearly impossible to get in if you don't go to one.
I won't be able to go to any of these target schools, mostly because of financial reasons. My dad makes around 35,000 dollars a year, and he has to support a family of four (my mother, my sister, himself, and me). I'm probably going to be going to a state university (University of Missouri Columbia).
Everywhere I look, It seems my chances are very, very slim. While I don't doubt that they are, is there any course of action I can take that would increase my chances? After doing further research, I've come up with a plan that looks like this:
-Major in financing/accounting (picking a major between these two isn't that big of a concern)
-Get a high GPA (I think I can pull off a 3.7, maybe even a 3.8)
-Join an investment/finance club; get into a leadership position by the time I graduate (I think this one is definitely doable. It'll be hard to get into a leadership position early, so hopefully at the very least in my final year I can do it.)
-Do a lot of networking and hopefully get an internship at a small firm (Because I'm only going to a state school, I highly doubt I'll get an internship easily. After a lot of networking and cold calling though, I'm sure I can get at least one. Of course, maybe I'll get lucky. This is just a theoretical plan so it's impossible to tell.)
====================================================================================== That ends the goal of undergrad. I don't think I'll have a shot after doing this simply because I didn't do this at a target school. So, my plan is to get an MFA (Masters in Finance). I don't think an MBA is useful. At least it's not useful based on what I have researched.
SO:
-With my high GPA (and hopefully high GMAT. I'll have to work hard, but I know I can do it), I apply to go to a target school for MFA.
-Attend the one year program, and hopefully I'm able to get in touch with investment bankers when they come for recruiting.
-I hope this puts me in an actually competitive position to apply for an analyst position. I know I'll still be at a disadvantage, but if I prepare hard enough, I can score a job.
I know a lot of you are going to think i'm CRAZY for thinking this far ahead. And you're right; I probably am. But I really, really want to get into the industry. I'm prepared to work very hard; I just need a path to prove myself. So I just want any general advice on weather people think this can work (again I know it's very theoretical, but assuming everything happens as planned).
Many of the best private schools have some of the top financial aid rewards programs in the country. That coupled with scholarships could actually get you a very close or even cheaper tuition than in-state.
I know some low income kids at my expensive private school got a completely free education.
Its doable but you'll probably have to bust your ass. Ex: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christopherhuetsch
Non-Target IBD Recruiting Tips (Originally Posted: 07/05/2016)
All, I graduated from a non-target university in 2015 and have been working in valuations for about 10 months now. Currently trying to leverage this experience to either lateral or network for the next analyst analyst recruiting season. Is it worth reaching out to the recruiter for each firm? Or reach out to analyst and associates at the banks I'm targeting. Appreciate any insight.
Guaranteed that no IB firm is going to hire you since you're unable to use the god damn search button. If you can't use the search button how do I know I could trust you with the imperative detail oriented nature of making sure my coffee only has 2 sugars and one cream.
Do Non-NYC IBD offices hire a lower percentage of non-targets? (Originally Posted: 09/17/2016)
Was wondering if anyone could shed light on this since from talking to HR at a JPM/MS/GS they have said that the SF office have much fewer spots and they usually go to Stanford and UCB kids. Do most offices do this or are some offices like Chicago or LA more open to non-targets.

Non-Target Wanting Advice on How to Break Into IB After Tons of Networking Attempts (Originally Posted: 12/08/2016)
Hey guys,
I'm currently a junior looking for a SA internship in IB for summer 2017. I come from a non-target school with relatively little connections to investment banking. I have had some interviews with investment banks, but I have not heard back from them.
At this point, I want to increase my chances of getting an internship in IB over the summer, but don't know how to continue networking.
I've currently researched people at investment banks that still have applications open and have sent a couple cold emails to several people in every role at each bank, but I'm not getting responses.
I've applied to over 50 banks online (I know that this is basically like submitting your resume to the trash).
I've tried to contact alumni and this hasn't done much good either.
About myself: -I currently have a 3.61 GPA. -I'm fluent in Spanish and have an interesting story on why I'm fluent. -Personality-wise, a guy from Goldman says I could fit in anywhere because I'm that easy going. -(I think this is the biggest thing) I currently have no finance experience outside of my major. I am, however, in this program at my school that pairs students with investment bankers already in the industry who conduct mock interviews and go over resumes, so my resume looks good and I have most of the technical's down.
At this point, does anyone have advice on how to increase my chances of breaking into the industry? Any advice helps. I would love to hear from other people who cold emailed and got responses and how they structured their emails as well.
Thanks for all the help in advance!
I'm going to assume you're a junior wherever you go. I also come from a non target, just went through the grueling recruiting process, and ended up getting an offer from a top MM bank. At one point I thought I was fucked so no matter what you do don't give up.
A lot of banks' recruiting process is over, but not all. So two things: 1. Get a huge list of investment banks that haven't started recruiting or just starting. Then email as many people as you can until you get a hit. Doesn't matter if the bank is a small boutique in Boston or Florida. At this point you just want to have that IB experience on your resume then try to leverage that into a full time recruiting later. 2. Email banks that are "finished" and acknowledge the fact they are done but if they somehow weren't able to fill spots you would love an opportunity.
Develop an extremely strong story and make it clear how bad you want this. At this point its okay to sound a little desperate. Say you will do whatever it takes to have the chance to interview. Spend a lot of time finding any bank (seriously any) and send a shit ton of emails. Really try to use any type of alumni. Exhaust all resources. If you have little alumni then they should understand the process you are going through. If not, find someone who is similar to you. Nontarget, speaks Spanish for example, etc. Best of luck.
Thanks! It helps to know that when you're feeling hopeless something can pop up like that. As far as job seeking goes, did you apply through OCM? If you did not, do you know any other sites that post jobs? I'm currently looking at Indeed and GlassDoor for IB's that post for SA.
Want to break into I-Banking Sophomore at Non target (Originally Posted: 01/01/2017)
What's up guys I'm a current sophomore at UCONN wanting to break into Investment banking. I'm in the honors finance program with a GPA of 3.5, looking to get that up to a 3.7. I'm currently working at a marketing company and secured an internship in NYC for a marketing firm for the summer. I have won a case competition sponsored by KPMG and will be participating in the regional stage. I am also in a few business clubs looking to get a few leaderships positions when I'm a junior. I'm gonna be applying to leadership conferences to bulk up my resume. Over the summer im gonna try to visit a few banks hopefully get someone to push my resume to HR. It would be great if you guys can help out in what I should be doing to best position myself for an IB internship for my junior year. I realize that I come from a non-target and that diminishes my chances by a lot. Getting into a bulge bracket is not so much of a concern, I would be fine working at a boutique or a small bank. Your input is appreciated!
As someone who recently went through recruiting from a non-target (and observed dozens of my peers do the same) here is my advice:
Prepare adequate responses to the following questions before you start networking: (1) Why do you want to do investment banking? (2) Tell me about yourself. You're going to be asked these questions incessantly if you're doing
Have a polished resume. Typos, spelling mistakes, and terrible formatting are easy ways to end up in a discard pile.
Network. Start now! If you're coming from a non-target this is the most important part. Start networking with alumni ASAP, but don't be pushy. Reaching out already implies you are interested in an internship (same applies to non-alum). There are many good guides on how to network on this site.
Make two lists (one for networking and another for applications). Keep track of who you are networking with, where they work, when you speak with them, and whatever else you think will be useful. Make a list of every bank you intend on applying. Once applications open up, it can be a little hard to keep track.
Rising Sophomore BB IB Hopeful (non-target) (Originally Posted: 07/20/2010)
Hey guys:
This is my most recent copy of my resume. Please provide any feedback you can think of; I wanna make sure this is in good shape.
From a non-target... it's considered top 20 business school but a non-target, nonetheless.
Thanks a ton.

Taking a quick glance:
Remove the periods (full stops), the "/4.0", Macro and Micro eco from your relevant coursework (since you've got ample other coursework to list), and fix your section title underlines - the last section looks like it has a different underline
Remove the sub, sub bullet points - it is fine to separate project experience from normal responsibilities (I recommend it), but you don't need some many bullet points - combine the sub with the sub, sub to create a complete bullet point.
Additionally, if your most recent work experience, that project experience does not need to be there since you are talking about tasks you've perfomed, not actual projects as you have in your 2nd experience - although even those experience aren't technically deals and can be trimmed down further - I see where you're going. In short, you don't need sub bullet points for your most recent experience and you don't need a sub bullet point for your last bullet in your 2nd experience.
You need to rework your bullet points - they are too brief at points - you are glossing over details to throw phrasing around - how did you/what metrics did you use to value Time Warner, for example, how did you convince a group to show interest and what group?
Your second experience sounds a bit weird - perhaps since part of it is blocked out - you are a partner in an IB special situations group - you might need to expand on that a bit
Work on your verbs and bullet structure overall - you can use verbs with more of an impact and not reuse verbs - especially one after the other.
Thanks for your critique; you're suggesting I delete all the periods from the bullet points / main topics?
The underlines should all be the same, I just copied and pasted this from M&I and filled in the rest. Also, can you give me an example or two of the verbs I should work on? This'll give me a better idea of what you're thinking.
Thanks again, I really appreciate it.
Check out these two articles I have put together, along with the same resume for more help with phrasing, etc. Beyond that, just do a google search for "resume verbs" or "action verbs" and a big list should populate for you to comb through.

Sophomore, Non-Target, IBD (Originally Posted: 04/19/2012)
I am a sophomore, non-target student seeking an SA position at one of the BB's for next summer. There is a resume drop at my school for students interested in IB, however there are a couple items that I am not sure I should include on the resume I turn in.
Is it appropriate to include the internship I will be starting this summer, as well as the academic program I will be participating in next year? These two bullet points are my most relevant experiences to IB, but I am not sure if it is acceptable to include future items on a resume.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. With that said, feel free to rip it apart.

I'm too lazy to really look at your resume but beef up work experience under boutique IB. Need to have some info on valuation work blah blah blah.
Don't put things on which haven't happened yet. Otherwise, I stand by what HFFBALLfan123 said - for any other experiences you might have.

Non-target with IB experience looking for advice (Originally Posted: 06/06/2012)
I am sure a somwhat similar thread has been made a dozen times, but nothing replicates my exact situation.
I am from a non-target (used to be target in the 80s if you can guess what school I'd be surprised), with a medium GPA and a BSc in Economics. I graduated in 2011, but after graduation I was working briefly in a field that I was not interested in. In spring I was was offered a spring IB analyst position at a boutique after dedicating nearly all of my time to breaking into IB at any level. I gained fantastic hands on experience at this boutique. I received no SA interviews however (probably because of the awkwardness of my specific situation), but was offered a part time position as a trader's assistant at a prop desk. Along with sitting at this prop desk part time I am also working PT as a SA at the boutiqe IB earlier mentioned.
So I guess the question is what should be my next move? I have a decent GPA... IB and trading experience after this Summer, and a demonstrated passion for finance. Although I do enjoy this trading internship IB aligns a lot more with my personality. I am networking, but what shot do I have in this economy to even get a chance to interview at at a mm?.Suggestions?
so r u working at this IB now?
Dealflow at the IB is relatively slow so I was only given an opporunity to work part time working mostly on M&A but assisting other groups as needed

Chance for IBD_non target (Originally Posted: 01/29/2014)
Hi guys, I'm a graduate students in MS Finance from non-target. GPA: 3.67 in some couple of M&A projects. What's the chance to get in IBD? Investment analyst.
Well I would say without networking and fixing your resume zero chance. Like seriously Key Skills: Finance + Accounting + IT... you need someone to help you restructure your entire resume, It is confusing and there is way to much white space. sorry to sound like a dick, but your graduating this year and way late to the game.
So no way to break in?
Could you guys suggest me how to fix that?
PM me.
There's a clear language gap here given your resume. You might be great at banking in your home country, but IBD is a relationship business and you need people who are culturally American, at least to work in the US.
You may consider some English courses.
I'm not sure English courses will be enough. He's going to need to just immerse himself in english 24/7 for a year or so.
Getting into Boutique IB Firm From Non-Target School (Originally Posted: 12/19/2014)
I go to a top 20 public university with no Wall Street firms coming to recruit. I mainly chose this school because I am an athlete. I am double majoring in Finance and Business Management with an Accounting minor, my current GPA is 3.3 (which I probably will graduate with). I had an internship last summer with a family friends business, mainly doing investment analyst stuff, but I wouldn't really call it a legitimate internship..

youre gpa is a little low but you never know. Start to network but with the gpa and lack of internship experience it will be difficult
Breaking into investment banking from a small school (Originally Posted: 07/01/2017)
Hey guys, first time poster here. I go to a small, 4 year college program, mainly for religious reasons. I have a 4.0 GPA and am majoring in mathematics, and double minoring in finance and information technology. Due to the nature of my school, there aren't really any companies that come recruiting, not alot of options in terms of finance clubs, and overall just alot less opportunity than what many of you are likely used to. My question is, what are my realistic options, if any, if I want to break into finance, specifically investment banking? I'm a Junior in college and mostly struck out looking for internship opportunities this summer.
Thank you in advance!
Not trying to be pessimistic but I would highly suggest going into technology/Software engineering instead simply because it does seem like it is rather late. I also don't see the religious and IB thing working out down the line either.
If you have a good technical background and know structured languages and data structures, then you can find a job easy. In terms of finance, other opportunities like becoming a financial analyst or going into Asset Management may present itself in the future, but sounds like you dont have much related to your field on your resume.
You could start an investment banking organization, and run a course in it.
That would look fantastic on resumes. You could get something IB related for next summer (or just IB period), and then look for FT IB in your senior year.
People who I've seen found IB student organizations have mostly all gone to BBs for IB and many of them from non-targs.
That would be a good choice to bolster your chances.

Is it possible to network yourself into IB from a state school? (Originally Posted: 02/19/2014)
I've basically decided that I'll be going to Michigan State University and have been wondering how feasible it would be to get into the IB industry from that school. I'm aware there aren't many IB firms around Michigan, so I'd most likely move and throughout college I'd try to attend as many career fairs as possible and try to network with as many alumni as possible. If I play my cards right, would I have a chance? Also it should be said I don't mean getting into a BB I just mean any bank.
short answer: yes
Anything is possible with enough networking. That's a good school, if you do well you should be able to make it.
Yes, it is possible. Network early and network often, and you'll be in an okay position come Junior year for SA recruiting.
Absolutely: just did it myself from a lesser known (IB standards) state school in the Midwest.
Game Plan: Get good grades, become involved in a couple organizations on campus (progress up the ranks), network like crazy (alumni, fraternity brothers, others from Midwest state schools, high school alumni, etc.), get internships prior to junior year (finance or markets related are ideal). That should get you a good amount of interviews. What you do with them is up to you at that point.
Know of a guy who interned at MS (think their M&A group) this past summer from MSU. It's not easy, but it's possible.
Your biggest advantage is knowing you want to focus on IB before you've even started college in the first place.
