First - If you don't have an internship, fucking get one.

Second - Graduate school is almost necessary to get any well-paying job in the finance/banking sector. Get an MBA if you don't know what you want to do.

Third - Are you still not getting an internship? FUCKING GET ONE

I got to second round at Millennium Management and they said no :/

After that I've applied to a lot of places but nothing back yet, really bummed out about it

This guy has the right idea. MBAs just don't get the job done anymore in the quant field though. You need a PhD and even then the job is not promised as there are so many PhDs working on Wall St now. Study your ass off and study shit besides finance that actually interests you and you'll be more likely to get picked up by a firm.

All you have to do is keep applying.

I know this sounds fucking obvious/stupid. But EVERY university has a career center, especially the business schools under those universities.

Those career centers only exist to get you an internship.

That's their only purpose.

fucking use them.

Yea the first round was on campus through the career center, but the only other big one that came was morgan stanley

Maybe they'll have some good ones in the spring

You're one of the first "I'm a business major what do" posters on here that hasn't made me want to stab a bitch, thank you.

Just keep trying for those internships, and in the meantime start figuring out what you want to do for a career.

If you have the room for it, get a minor in something you enjoy. It won't do much for your desirability, but it does wonders for making you stand out a bit more than your peers. (Vast majority of business majors lately only have their cookie-cutter degree to work off of)


(Make sure you aren't just focused on a big name internship by the way, any work experience is a great thing in today's market.)
Any ideas what type of graduate work you'd like to do? Now is the time to figure that out so you can start looking into what careers you can get.

(Monetary Economics Masters student here, Finance/Economics major)

Also keep this in mind if you end up not being able to find work in the field of finance, "Those who can't do, teach."

Ayyyyy stony brook represent. I'm going into finance there also soon. How are your classes. Also. Major in math and be super good at and get a job at Renaissance. Jim Simons always hires math spergs from SB

I majored in Math + Econ in Albany
Thia guy is right >>1686149 get an internship
Hard for me to get a job without any experience

Actuarial math is fucking difficult though, enjoy wanting to kill yourself studying for those tests/getting a degree

I go to William & Mary (Virginia state school) and am a Finance major...given the school and the Finance, should I go for Mathematics, Comp Sci, or Spanish as a second major?
