I’m a back office analyst at a large Bulge Bracket 1 year out of school. I’ve been studying all the technicals and interview prep since January. Whats my chance of landing a full time analyst role at a local Boutique in NY? I’ve been networking heavily and landed a first round interview, but nothing yet.

Nothing is impossible, just keep at it and you will land something.

Do you work with FO at your BB at all? Or know someone well enough at a Aso+ level that could help with networking? That’s probably the best way going about it.

They won’t care about not introducing since you’re not on the IB team.

Some recruiter in Accenture lined me up for an interview for a role which was not in my skillset ( by saying that this is just an evaluation exercise and they will map me to the right role) and obviously I got rejected. Now I see that I am not eligible to apply the role which I was targeting for the next 6 months. Any idea how can I get this escalated so that the recruiter ( Accenture employee) should at least be careful in future before fooling a noob like me?

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.
