Give it a rest. There are plenty of opportunities. [/quote]
All of these schools have hundreds of clubs! People are just obsessing about a handful.

Bc if you don’t have the club, the IB interviews/case studies are a flop.[/quote]

I'm a banker. I happened to be an econ major who had done some internships, but I knew many bankers, a number of whom went on to be extremely successful, who got banking jobs out of college with an English major and no relevant experience. The banks could figure out without doing banking specific case interviews that these people were really smart and would pick up the material quickly, and they had great training programs that taught them everything they needed to know, with the rest taught on the job.

A good chunk of the people who go to banks end up in some very esoteric niche area where all of the garbage being taught in the finance clubs is largely irrelevant anyway. I have had a very successful career in banking and have not come within a mile of a DCF or any trading related concepts.[/quote]

The world you graduated in is totally different than what our kids are graduating in.  I have 2 in the process now and it’s rough out there. Behavioral examples, technical screens, hireview hoops[/quote]
