I attend a t10 MBA program on the east coast. I spent all of fall recruiting for IB only to get waitlisted by a top 5 firm. In total I had about 8 different interviews and 2 super days. was really crushing for me but i'm more concerned now because I haven't found another internship and we're getting down to the wire.

i'd like to stay in the finance world if possible but at this point i'm willing to take anything that can generate me experience. it's getting down to the wire…

Its been brutal in consulting too, unfortunately I think we have bad timing. Some people I have talked to have done smaller PE firms and had some luck but thats a wide net to cast and a lot of networking to do

How small? There are some firms that have been reaching out that are 1-3 people lol

I am so sorry to hear this happened to you and I don't blame you for feeling crushed. The job/internship market is so rough right now. I would recommend posting in the job referral bowl if you haven't already to see what you can find on there.

Good idea, thank you

Checking back in…any luck with the recruiting?

Hi fishes, my friend recently had a bitter experience with Dish Network. So her profile was shortlisted and they asked few questions over email. It did take good 2hrs to answer and she replied back.

Is there any reason why this happens ? Me being in HR field felt this to be a little unprofessional.

I would appreciate your perspective.
I am currently working on my MBA in a professional evening and weekend program at a highly accredited university.
