I can give u a full detail of what it's like OP, just PM me. Long story short, if you arent in a top 10 undergrad business school, dont have above a 3.5 GPA, and aren't willing to work 70-100 hours a week, don't even apply... You'll be wasting your time.
For real man? my bad, I have been working a lot so I must have not seen it. I'll hit you with a response in a few or tomorrow morning.. sorryabout that.Originally Posted by ProduccionFrescos

from your sig you're from the west coast? what school did you go to? i know a lot of people who did i-banking or are just starting out on the path, but they all worked in NY or the area (greenwich etc.)
how is it in the bay? i live in socal and i know MS LA and GS LA have kinda a bad rep but i don't have any firsthand info.

Joe, I tried to PM you but it said that the user wasnt found. Just hit me up on a real SN or some other username and we can talk. Take it easy.

ummmmmm you get the job before your MBA. and most people use it as a springboard- 2 years and then onto greener pastures (i.e. ones without the 120 hr weeks)
Not neccesarily. I know a chick that worked a few years at Edward Jones, got her MBA from Duke, and got on at Goldman. Just saying you don'thave to land an IB job right out of undergrad to get in the game. It might just be a little harder.

If you are a male and have under a 3.5 3.8 GPA you better have some sick connect. Just giving you a heads up.
and you dont wanna ibank, you want the salary, no one wants to work 90 hours a weak as a slave robot.
I heard otherwise from friends who work at Barclays ATM. They all tell me if you have a 3.6 then you will have a shot. As they are starting to hire at little due to the current profits. Hell, my friend works with some kid who graduated the Univ of Florida and kid had a 2.9 and got a job. It's all about who you know.
Goldman you need an insane GPA obviously.

but,i plan to do this for 2yrs and then be a licensed banker.
every 2 yrs or so,try to make that upward move,getting better in banking.
i think he meant a top 10 econ program or along those lines......i mean aside from penn and cornell i don't think any ivy has an undergradb-school, and neither do many other "target schools."Originally Posted by Ricardo Malta

Not entirely true. I went to Duke undergrad and we don't have an undergrad business school yet Goldman, JP, Wachovia, Citi, etc recruit us intensely.
The key is to land an internship with one of the big banks the summer going into your sophmore and/or junior year.
Here's the route I took:
-Internship with GS summer going into junior year
-2 year analyst program with GS after graduation
-UConn business school with MBA after 2 years
-Worked for American Capital (PE firm) up until they closed their Boston office last year
