Happened to me this year too! Here’s some advice:
-You’ll probably do this naturally, but I treated finding a job like a full time job. I’d pick a city a day to really hit hard with research on agencies (used the creative ham website but I’m sure cooler people on this app have a better suggestion), would then do deep dives on agency sites/Glassdoor/LinkedIn etc for places I liked, and then would always apply even if they weren’t hiring for my position. My current agency didn’t list an opening for my position but here I am
-Surround yourself with positive friends/family (i was lucky enough to fly home and stay with my mom while job searching; it helped being around a positive voice in that situation)
-FILE FOR UNEMPLOYMENT ASAP (wish I had done this way sooner)
-Confirm how long your benefits will roll over (my company let us stay on our benefits for like 60 days, which I didn’t know, so I paid for COBRA...long story but this was my first time).
-Know that you got this. I found a WAY better fit with this new job so it was a blessing in disguise. Good vibes coming your way!

OP, talk to your company’s HR about how long your current insurance policy “rolls over”, some have a 30-60 day rollover and I didn’t ask them this so signed up for Cobra and paid over $400 for insurance thru Cobra. That’s definitely something HR will help you with after a layoff, and I wish I had talked to them

Hi, where or what types of companies should sophomores & juniors apply for next summer (2022) to recruit for IB the following summer (2023)? This summer BBs wrapped up SA IB recruitment, EBs even earlier, and a fair amount of my friends missed out big time.

Also, if a sophomore or junior doesn’t get a finance-related summer internship (I.e tech) and aims for an IB SA or FT position, is it harder to break in?

Appreciate any advice and insight, thank you.

I have an interview tomorrow with a recruiter who contacted me through LinkedIn. I believe I am way under-qualified for the position and I pointed that out to her, but she responded with several points from my resume as to why she believes the role is a good fit with my experience. It would be a leap, but maybe I need to take it as a challenge and not limit myself? I just don’t want to get in over my head and fall flat on my face. What are some questions I could ask during the first interview?

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
