I put in extra hours, made friends, was proactive, helpful, supportive. Asked to upmanage, I did. Kept projects going when seniors weren’t. Told my work is great, i’m killing it, team couldn’t have done it without me. Regardless, I got the chop. Multiple layoffs in few years.

I have PT work. Think about applying for FT but then “eff it, why bother”. Freelance opps are low. Recruiters ghost. Can’t imagine doing anything else but don’t trust theres future for me anywhere. How do I stay positive?

I’m one of the top performers in the company and got invited to the company’s emerging leadership program.

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.
