    The truth is, you don't get offers because you are not excellent enough. Period. He got the exposure because, for example, he won a scholarship, thus being excellent. There's no easy way round guys. You can get 100 when you're 90 for being stratigic and smart, but if you're a 50 you will never get 100. Work hard guys, the grind has to be grinded.

      Working hard gets people nowhere the whole idea of working up often than not is just simply a lie. It is about who you know 9/10 if you have a degree and work experience and someone else has a degree and connections they will 99% of the time get the role. Work smarter not harder imo

      ​@@zeffy._440 I would say that is true for senior people in the industry, but I think for stuednts, the main determinant is still "yourself" - how you present yourself on your CV, how your present yourself in interviews. I am a student myself, and I've been through the entire application process for almost all the top investment banks, and I can say for sure that the process is very fair, and having a referral will at most get you an interview opportunity. after that you're on your own.

  • @zeffy._440
    @zeffy._440 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    When applying I do sometimes receive SJT's but I am not sure exactly how or why since they rarely give good feedback to work on (a lot is generic) but I tend to end up somehow failing them. Should I look in to specific courses or in to the companies more? A lot of the tests measure how you react to situations and I have no idea as to what I am doing wrong or how to react appropriately in a setting such as an IB or analyst role. It seems like what I think is appropriate i.e. talking to a other colleagues and managers first is not a appropriate for the role Any advice?
