Just lie

Do you honestly think interviewers will ask for your GPA rather than who you know in the company?

>not pretending to fill in a minority

I'm a faggot at work.

Bump. This is relevant to my interests.

>>691076
Corporate finance, you are fine.
Investment banking/equity research, you are fucked

GPA doesn't matter in the real world

>>691570
Your are right, but if you have no connections, most Ibanks will trash you if you don't have at least a 3.5.

>>691570
if your GPA is so low you cant get interviews(3.5 / 3.7 is usual cutoffs), it matters.

>turning down an invitation from gandalph
>ever
That's like jesus offering you work. If you turned it down you would not only be pissing away free glory even if you died, but everybody in your town would view you as a retard for the rest of your life and your children as well.

It doesn't matter in the real world if you already have extensive industry experience. If you are babby's first banking job, GPA will matter. A LOT. Stop spewing bullshit you obviously have no clue talking about.

I've thought about this actually. They have no way of knowing. And even if you get caught say you're bi

>>691476
what minorities would be good to fill in?

>>691805
This isnt college, minorities are discriminated against in the workplace.
Getting a job does have to do with if an employer likes you and wants to work with you. Your employer might not have gay friends, he doesnt want to work with gays, so your resume goes into the trash and you cant prove thats why he rejected you.

This is a part of reason why blacks have such a big income gap still. For awhile the answer was thought to be getting blacks into elite colleges would solve the income gap but no that they are we realize it doesnt matter, They still arent getting hired regardless of their education.

Meh, depends upon your other credentials. If you've got a solid portfolio, i.e. internship, work history, it probably won't matter. However, baring those, it could make a difference. Connections and networking are the most important aspects to landing something real/decent.

If you're going into finance you won't find a single job with that GPA. Just apply to McDonalds, you blew your education.

Good thing you can just lie.

>>691076

Anything under 3.5 is not worth mentioning. Don't bring it up, and leave it off the resume.

If asked, tell them your GPA and then add that you took challenging courses, and that had lots of exciting extracuricular activities.

Here's an insider tip. You should LITERALLY lie 100% of the time on the online application. Only HR looks at it, the people actually doing the hiring are only interested in your actual resume so they won't even know what you filled in online. Online applications are made specifically so that HR can have an easy time le trashmanning potential hires.

A lot of places I applied required a copy of your transcript also

>>691076

Depends. Working at MS and have a 3.9. Roommate has a 3.3 and is at Barclays. His uncle is an md there. The point is how well you network matters far more than your grades.

Latino. Banks jizz themselves over latinos. Or gay minorities. One of the dumbest fuckers I've met at school got Goldman as a sophomore because he's a gay, black, first generation college attendee. Affirmative action is real and much more of a problem in the working world than people admit.

>>692786
What about interviews with HR drones, keep telling them what they want to hear?

>>693537

What applying to internships? No place the requires work experience is going to ask for transcript
