How tough is it to break into Private Banks (Europe) in an investment role out of undergrad? I have relevant internship experiences (IR, Family Office and PE), and I am at a top business school, but I can't even get 1st rounds at JPM PB, Citi PB, GS PWM, or the Swiss ones.

Is it better to work in other institutions as an investor or in a family office and try to join later as a more experienced analyst, or do a Masters and try again in the next years?

It might be your resume. Have you had it reviewed by a professional? You seem to have the experience most of those firms are looking for.

If you have relevant internships, that should be a pretty good to start with. I knew a few people who went into family offices and transitioned out to pretty big roles after. Gives you less pressure to figure things out before moving into something bigger IMO

Hello, does anyone work as an auto underwriter for insurance? I recently got accepted for an internal job position and was offered $50k. I’m currently a claim processor making $20/hour so the offer is more than what i’m making but is low in comparison to the average salary for an auto underwriter in AZ (which is around $58k). I believe because the company knows how much i’m making they lowballed me. Any tips on how to navigate the salary negotiation and can u share ur salary ?
