Didn't go to a target school. All you need is honestly a compelling resumé like hit every nail and reach out on LinkedIn to get a reference from someone in the area you want to work in. I did this and worked twice.

Cold reach out on LinkedIn. It can be done - though it’s very tough.

What about vps?

Very tough especially for IB. What is your goal? GS isn’t the end all be all, and many people don’t stay

Hm what’s your stats?

Ask for a referral.

Are you sure you want IB/GS? They’re not the end all they are made out to be in undergrad.

got laid off at Hopin. job search is going well but finding it super hard in interviews to get an idea of the company culture and whether they actually care about work/life balance. they will obviously *say* they do but i fear in reality they’re just going to advantage, overwork you and pile on the deadlines. so many people in interviews with me have been so uninspiring, barely smile and seem totally burnt out. is this just my experience?

Any international student has any kind of suggestion in order to help me to implement my vocabulary? I speak Italian and Spanish, and English is my third language. I was wondering if beside from reading, anyone has any other technique. I listen to a lot of high quality content and read many articles, but when it comes back to for example interviewing, I feel like my English level goes back to basic. How do you deal with speaking another language in more difficult situations? thanks
