Hi everyone! I wanted some advice about career paths. I have done an internship in tax but I want to be a financial analyst and basically do FP&A roles. I’’ struggling to get any interviews because I rarely see any entry level jobs available. Any advice for a new graduate with a degree in economics? Any potential openings at your companies for fresh grads?

There is no other way to do it but to keep on applying. There are groups that you can find in LinkedIn of professionals working in the same field. Join and make connections. When I was just starting I used to attend conventions so I can meet potential employers. It takes a little more effort but never give up.

You should try networking as well. Post this in the job referral bowl and see if you can get any bites there. I would also recommend networking on LInked in. That has proven to be really helpful for me over the years.

I think with entry level roles, it's truly a numbers game. Recruiters are getting inundated and they aren't necessarily taking those referrals either. I would reach out alumni who are in senior-ish roles in places oyu like and connect with them directly on LinkedIn

Ton of FP&A analyst roles open at banks, financial services firms. Could also look out for management reporting roles which is a good place to start.

Considering pivoting into a local MM IB. As my title suggests, my technical skills aren’t as honed as one who has focused on the analysis route. How much of being an Analyst at a smaller IB is technical skill heavy coming into the role? I hold my 7, 66, 24, and am not worried about getting the 79. Any input for how realistic this is? When looking at one particular firm’s career page it doesn’t mention technical skills or modeling once, which led me to believe it may be less important than soft.
