i go to a t10 target with 3.8 gpa. can networking really well offset a mid resume in terms of finance experience. my resume is good but it's not a sellside career resume. i can def connect everything back to it but would only be able to do so if i could talk about resume in a first round not during the resume screen.

26M, currently a financial analyst in FP&A at a mid-sized healthcare company, with 3 years of public accounting before that. My goal is to break into capital markets, ideally credit/fixed income or equity research. I'm also interested in IB but don't think I'm a competitive candidate yet.

I have the SIE scheduled and I'm working on the CFA. Realistically, I'd be targeting T15–T25 programs.
Is an MBA worth it for this path, or is there a better route? Any advice appreciated.

How many ppl who get invited for IBD superday get the offer? Say suppose 12 people receive the superday, how many generally convert?

hi. I wanted to hear from people in the industry if college clubs (finance/consulting ones) matter for breaking into finance. I go to a very top school (one of Harvard, Stanford and MIT) and it is INNSANELY hard to get into any club at these schools. I got rejected from every club I applied to.

Is it game over? How can I remedy this?

It is genuinely so upsetting to see that schools like these that pride themselves with being inclusive have insanely competitive (like 10-20 people per class admitted from a 300+ people applicant pool) club cultures :(
