Hi guys,
Need your experienced guidance. My friend has been applying with Raymond James from past 5 months for Investment Banking Analyst positions. He has MSFIN and worked with top companies. He was discouraged with rejections so he decided to ask for a feedback from the IB Recruiter (He never responded- so my friend decided to ask a Sr recruiter to get some insights & improve). attached a sc of response & job post says required qualification-Bachelor! So where is Equality if bachelor was hired

Read the email, I thought it was actually pretty kind. The applicant seems to have been applying for all jobs at all levels and spamming senior people in the organisation as well. This is just annoying.

Apply for the job you are suited for, and if you get a rejection take it with good grace and use it to work out what you need to do differently. I wouldn’t hire this guy in a month or Sundays, and I say that as someone with 25 years IB/IM/SWF experience

Quite farcical comment

Send your resume

1. Don't fixate on particular companies
2. Resume probably is bad. Presentation beats qualification.
3. "Feedback" makes companies liable for their response. Getting one is a near impossibility, so consider this one good luck.
4. Don't multi-apply in one company. Apply to multiple companies.
5. Multi-apply = unfocused and fixated on company name
6. Presentation enhances qualification. (From 2)

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?
