Re: Top i-banking firms
This year is a bad year for I-Banking analyst opportunities. The internship programs have expanded over the last several years, and more people accepted offers this summer than ever before. Companies also are cutting back hiring b/c of the climate on the street. Goldman went from interviewing 48 last year at Yale to only interviewing 9 for one spot. I just couldn't have imagined last year that as football player with two years I-Banking experience (boutique), having run my own incorporated investment company, and a 3.3 GPA in Economics that I would be worried about getting a job with one of the bulge bracket firms.
If you are a minority (non-Asian) or a woman though, you are set, they are always looking to fill more spots for "diversity".
Oh, and coming out of school, there is no real difference between any of the top firms. Goldman has the name more than anyone else, but other firms may be a better fit and get you further right out of school.
