[GUIDE] Investment Banking Recruiting
我最近有一些空闲时间，我认为我应该很好地利用它，所以我写了"all-in-one" guideon the investment banking recruiting process for undergrads. I figured with recruiting season right around the corner / right upon us, it could be very helpful and I've been encouraged by many to share it. A bit of background on myself, I'm from a non-core school and I summered atGSand I'm now a campus ambassador for the firm (so I think I know the recruiting process decently well).
Throughout my recruiting journey I actively usedWSOto keep up on timelines, potential interview questions, and the general structure of the interview process for each firm. There's tons of phenomenal resources onWSOand I hope I can add to them!

More than happy to give back to the community as much as possible, feel free to connect on LinkedIn / via PM onWSO(whichever you feel more comfortable with) and we can set up a time to chat!
我想克ive a special thanks to theWSOcommunity. Without you guys none of this could have been possible. I've learned a tremendous amount of information simply by reading and talking with some of the top contributors on this forum.

我在网络电子邮件上以4.0的4.0从notarget ‼️ ‼️ ‼️上阅读本文。
Those are rookie numbers, my friend.

Currnetly have an excel sheet built with first name/last name, firm, position, phone#, email, point of last contact, and quick notes on each...its 294 rows rn. Welcome to the "jesus christ just give me a shot" club
How many interviews did you receive so far?
You need to evaluate what you are saying in your emails if your hit rate is that bad. Reach out to any alumni from your nontarget. Scrub LinkedIn for keywords such as your hometown, university, Greek life, college athletics or anything in common you can highlight in your introductory email. Networking and breaking in is a numbers game but 0/53 means there is something more you could be doing. Best of luck!
This is a great guide. A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
Hello there!
该死。不是目标 +亚洲=GS。God bless you.
Thanks man

Dang you've got some real guts posting to your LinkedIn with your actualWSO不是一个抛弃的帐户
1）I want people to be able to freely reach out to me (although I recognize this can be somewhat done via PM, I think LinkedIn is a lot more fluid)
2）I don't want people to question my credentials
3）I thinkWSOhas too many anonymous posters –let's build the community not bring each other down。In most cases, if you're in it to help others, no reasons to post completely anonymous (although I can sympathize with people working in select banks where it may be easy to narrow down who may be posting).

在业余时间进行项目很好，但是您如何认为自己有足够的资格提供建议？变得真实，您基本上是SA。“办公时间”lmfao太畏缩了。你是trying to become the new Sam Shiah? Anyone readingWSOwill have access to a much greater wealth and quality of information, since the content onWSO来自各种用户，包括银行家实际阅读简历并运行招聘过程。您没有凭据，您是基本的bit子实习生。
Another point which I found absolutely detestable is you creating severalWSO帐户回复该线程。您认为我们智障吗？
Dear god, if you don't want to end up like Sam Shiah, get real and get laid.
即使他可以利用更多的经验，也要尊重那个张贴他的LinkedIn的家伙。但是，到目前为止，他的简历都很好。
您什么时候要发布您的LinkedIn，以便我们可以批评它？
Sure, just drop by during my next office hour if you want to critique my resume :)
How tf are you so upset over some guy writing a job search guide?
1）I have oneWSOaccount. I have not made any duplicates
2）I have no financial gain by providing advice (Sam Shiah charges lots of $ for his advice), and I don't see this as my "career", rather something I put together to help people
3）You're right, I don't have the years of experience that seasoned bankers have, but I am connected with the timelines of recruiting and how they're changing (as a campus ambassador and also as someone who knows many underclassman currently applying / going through the process). Doesn't it make sense to have someone who just went through the recruiting process (successfully I like to think) help students as opposed to someone who did it 5 years ago?
4）The resources used to prepare for interviews tend to switch up a bit and I simply put the resources I found most helpful into one easy spot
5）I have friends a few years into banking already and they're so busy they hardly know when applications are even due
6）You're shitposting anonymously because your comment hardly has much value...这既不有趣也没有帮助, exactly the reason why I think many users onWSOthinkWSO应该删除匿名功能

The timelines are great and it's hard to argue it isn't a helpful resource. One thing I would caution however is branding yourself ex-banking or ex-GS. You didn't really work in the industry-you did an internship. There's a pretty large difference between the full time role and being what is really a summer helper. I found most interns didn't really understand what investment banks do by the end of their summer because it's unlikely you see a full deal process in that short a span or are trusted to do anything meaningful. Might suggest changing some of the language to be less strong on describing why you are qualified/ your credentials. Rather than "worked at GS" you can just say, "non-target guide for getting aBB实习”。
同样,就像给你和许多海报many investment banks have policies against social media and they might not want someone being so open. Also, looking at your profile there might be some comments you want to scrub with your LinkedIn/ personal identity now paired with this account. Political comments, comments where you are acting as though you work full time in the industry, or comments where you are giving advice/ comments on other Ibanks isn't exactly a great professional look. Didn't see anything too bad, but there's a lesson here you should take on being cautious with your identity and careful with what you post online.
Appreciate the advice and definitely recognize the caveats you've mentioned.
我想澄清一下，我从来没有说过我是前银行或前GS。也许您是对的BB实习，但我怀疑这是否具有相同的含义更少的学生将能够从中受益（是的 ”Goldman Sachs" is a buzzword and I'm guilty of using it). Also note the title of the article is "A College Student's Guide to Investment Banking Recruiting" not "How to get a job at Goldman Sachs " which would have probably gotten more visibility but yes would be deceiving.
Also agree on your point about my background, maybe I should have been more clear regarding me having worked there for the summer as opposed to many years. With that said, my article isnot about working in the field, it's about the recruiting process for getting into the field,which I certainly feel qualified to speak about (having just done it and in the process of helping several students as well).
Maybe I'm flying close to the sun by posting the guide / being transparent on this forum in regards to bank policies, but I certainly think it's worth it if it can help many students. I also providedgeneral advice对于面试过程，公开的东西。这是摩根士丹利的采访准备。Honestly feel pretty comfortable with this and don't see a need to censor anything I posted, but I appreciate the advice.

For clarity-meant your personal comments on yourWSOaccount. Again, it's a helpful resource-but I'd caution against being too heavy handed and just note a level of humility otherwise the full time role is going to be extremely challenging for you. Additionally, until you sit on the other side of the table, it's hard to really know what investment banks are/ aren't looking for.
