Investment Banking Recruiting Secrets of the Top 1%

Shownotes Transcript

If you recruit for headquarters locations like New York City and London, usually you won't know what group you'll get placed in until after you accept the offer and have gone through the group placement process (this does not apply to regional offices).

Group placement is important because it can have a huge impact on your experience as an analyst and also on your exit opportunities later on. People often get so caught up in the prestige of the bank that they end up at. But did you know that it's actually better to be in a great group at a slightly "worse" bank than to be in a bad group at a "better" bank?

So even if you've gotten your offer, don't relax prematurely because your work is not done yet. What are the best practices and how can you go about finding the best group for you? 

Hear me walk through what you should look for when navigating through the group placement process.
