Love that energy C1. Yeah it’d be tougher than an ivy leaguer or someone with IB experience, but not impossible if you network well. Go get em!

I think it would be possible. Some people might say that it would be harder for a higher tier bank (think bulge bracket) but should be doable at MM, LMM, or boutique.

Probably super hard but if you hustle bet you could do it. I’ve seen people post here they moved from fdd senior to IB (albeit, on 1-2 people).

Maybe doable, but you’d have to hustle

I work for a small business, therefore I do all the on boarding paperwork/payroll. Any advice is appreciated.

Hi, fishes.
A quick query here.

I'm going to move from non IT profile to IT profile. Basically I'll be applying as front end engineer in new company. Previously I was working in a BPO profile.
Just wanted to ask if I'll be provided training in my initial months as a front end engineer or am I expected to work from the very first day.
Your comments will be really helpful.

Thank you.

Have $60K scholarship at Booth, nothing at Sloan. However, I already went to UChicago undergrad and live in Boston so have an established network here. However, concerned about lack of soft skills/leadership development, focus on academics, nerdy culture at Sloan.
