The challenge right now is
Most of the money that's available is going to AI infra
I think it's $600B this year
And projected to touch $1 trillion in 2 years

That's starving money for other thing

Once AI infra investments cool down, it should free up money for other initiatives

Watch her video— she specifically walks about how she didn’t even really use her career center and alum for job searching and stuff. Like at that point you’re just wasting half of what you are paying for

Idk my thesis was and continues to be that you can break into IB if you’re personable + have a solid story— largely driven by what I’ve heard from students + the fact that all schools seem to be resonating with the story/rationale I put together. But ultimately if you are at a target school/T20 school, you will have a better chance vs if you are at a non target/below top 20

man you gotta wake up a bit. The career services center is useless at every school - youre not breaking in because of the school but because of the banks who recruit there. You can get cut from a process for being weird, or being hyper fixated on IB or finance, half the battle is fitting in. I dont know why youre coping a bit but im telling you its extremely tough and anybody can get cut for any reason, she clearly didnt grind enough nor had the background to break in. I am friends with current Cornell students and most who broke in had the background.

I knew a kid who had 15 first rounds at a top 20 mba - failed every process for being a hardo.

the story is one thing, the adequate background and capability to do the job is the next. The days where everyone and anyone can break in are over. The admissions board doesnt know **** about recruitment they are evaluating whether you can speak or sound professional, banks only care about one two things a) can you do the job right the first time b) is this person professional , thats it!

I sit on the round table and evaluate candidates, we cut a kid for having a real estate investment banking background, literally just for that reason, even though he had deals closed on his resume and nailed the process. Thats how tough it is for people. He had the story, and the background, nothing was wrong with him, he was cut for simply covering real estate, a known technically challenging group hoping to transition into an M&A product group (that group wouldve been just fine to apply his skills from). Thats what im saying, all because people tell you, oh just have the right story and youll do fine, theyre not telling you about the 90% who fail from that background. Not trying to scare you just giving you the truth before you drop 200k on an MBA only for banking without the background.

Totally fair that the grind is real — I don’t disagree it’s tough, especially for career switchers. My only point was that adcoms do care a lot about career outcomes, so if multiple T20s are engaging with a candidate’s story for pivoting into IB, it’s probably a sign they see it as realistic. The finance background helps, sure, but I’ve met plenty of switchers who made it happen through prep and networking once they were in the right ecosystem.

This is nonsense lol. You definitely don't need the background to break into banking. I know people who just graduated this past summer from non targets, no background (tennis coach, oil rigs, warehousing) who are working RIGHT NOW in banking post mba. No background in banking whatsoever.

Just cool, down to earth, successful in their own right who learned to talk the talk.
