School not on west coast + no personal connections to area = impossible west coast IB?
Pretty much what the title says. Any real shot of breaking into west coastIBif not at top target or a west coast school? Any feedback is greatly appreciated

是的,与任何非目标的网络完全相同,但办公室显然较小。为什么LA/SF答案很强。他们从我的个人经验中非常关心这一点。
Mind if I PM you?
Go for it
哪些最好的答案是区分“为什么la/sf”问题与您所看到的不是超级通用的问题,例如在那里有朋友和家人?
在你的确切位置:从一个吗n east-coast target, grew up my whole life on the east coast, even mySAwas in纽约. I completely switched gears and recruitedFTonly for TechIBin SF. The key is to network your ass off and do not get discouraged by a low "hit" rate. There were very few alums in the SF tech groups so I had to be extremely persistent to build connections and keep them updated throughout my junior year (I recruited forFT在SF中,有多个Superdays +一个优惠)。
Have a very strong why SF/LA (insert city), especially if you have no ties to that area (grew up there, went to school there, etc). The most convincing answer is that you have family ties there and want to make a "long-term move" (whether or not that's true does not matter, you just have to sound convincing). Also, you need to demonstrate that you have a passion in the industries that west coastIBsfocus on. Most of your interviews will be group-based, since the majority of firms mostly have tech or healthcare groups on the west coast (speaking for SF, I know LA has certain sponsor groups and m&a/rx). For my techIBinterviews, I had to demonstrate a strong passion for tech by talking about sub-verticals I was interested in, sub-vertical trends, the major players, the market, etc.
This is helpful - what specifically about certain sub-verticals appealed to you the most, and why was west coast the best place? Had always been under the impression that many east coast firms also covered tech extensively
West coast not necessarily "better" than纽约techIB(definitely is bank dependent- for my bank SF >纽约for tech). The major factor was that I didn't like纽约and wanted to be on the west coast. I talked about semiconductors which is a sub-vertical that interests me. Just know the major players, the trends, your opinion on the sub-vertical market-- doesn't matter which sub-vertical it is.
Yes, it's an uphill battle, but its not impossible. I went to a state school in the east coast, grew up in Asia, and was able to get into aBBin LA. Completely doable, all you need is one contact at any firm who's willing to take that extra step for you.
