[quote=Anonymous]Physics, Ivy.  FT Quant job in NYC after doing summer internship.  Minimally used the career center on-campus.  Responded to many in-bound invitations from companies for which his school is a target.  Prior experience was heavy on research.  Key factors behind getting FT offer: 1. Maintained very high GPA in tough major; 2. Started early (sophomore year for junior summer); 3. Demonstrated strong quantitative aptitude and skills, which all candidates need regardless of major in this job market; 4. Soft networking with alums, which he resisted at first but got much better at as he went along; 5. Super prepared for interviews, especially those involving case studies or brain teasers; 6. Applied to over 50 places for junior summer internship, got 10-12 interviews, a couple super/days, a few offers and took one.  Process seemed brutal, but never got emotional about it and saw it as a game of numbers and kept taking the swings.  Just keep applying, interviewing and repeat.[/quote]
