How did you get the interview? I want to apply for their graduate roles

>>8670409
So up front, I'm interviewing for a post-undergrad position coming from a non-business major.
I think there are 3 key things:
- excellent grades (I had the equivalent of a 3.89 GPA)
- previous internship experiene at a brand name company
- extracurriculars with focus on demonstrating leadership

With all of these handled and coming from a target uni, you "should" get interviews. Probably cant help to attend company events, which I did for 2 companies (got interviews with all MBB)

tfw there are 3 datawallet threads but no one cares about actual jobs

Try actually being smart and useful, they tend to hire those people.

why would you want to work 80-100 hours a week in a cubicle doing power point presentations and sucking your clients dicks?

jesus christ. also 90% are literal brainlets there coming from a business school and have this idea of seeing themselves as patrick bateman junior.

pretty much, you get paid good money to waste the best years of your life in busywork.

I don't think you're right.
From what I've gathered, 1) the hours aren't that insane (~60 hr probably more realistic average), 2) you're not doing PPPs only (easily outsourced) and 3) sucking your clients dick can actually be a worthwhile investment of your time (not trolling, can learn a lot from experienced people). Also, I don't think a brainlet is able to get hired.

I'm the ALPHA lawyer from the other thread m. Know your case studies and you're good. Don't be an aspire far in interviews

>Also, I don't think a brainlet is able to get hired.

yes, ou just have to be a MOTIVATED brainlet, i.e. the type of people who attends business school anyways.

anyway, to put some substance into my posts:

1) i work in an IB
2) i work 40-50 hours a week. its relaxed though.
3) i have friends from my degree (studied math) who entered the big 3. they work 80-100 hours, from 8.30am to 10pm-1am. weekend usually off (but not always)
4) you better want to do power point. if you dont, you end up being a grunt doing the analysis underlying the presentation which sucks even more. what do you think our MDs (partner equivalent at a bank) do all day? administration and powerpoints for the c-level.
5) the worst thing at a big 3 are the retarded colleagues. like, literally retarded patrick-bateman wannabes. fucking annoying. no personality other than wanting to appear important and make money. zero intellectual curiosity. absolutely disgusting.

but good luck.

How the fuck are you working 40hrs in IB? I've talked to a few people at MBB too and they say 60-70/week on average, yes weekends usually off so that's quite nice in comparison to banking too

Personality-wise, the people I've met were pretty fucking cool desu. I think if it leaks that you don't have other interests in your life and just want to be a Don Draper you won't pass all interview rounds/promotions.

I'm really not trying to attack you, but you sound really salty about consulting. Did something special happen that you think this way?

Tell them you think fiat is a scam, the Jews own 99% of the world's wealth, and that DB is going to default early 2019.

They will give you a job on the spot.
