[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do want to acknowledge that lax bros, golf, & tennis players do well and hiring folks state that the three or four week course given by the firm teaches one everything that they need to get rolling, but[b] I suspect that this leeway is just given to a few recruits while the others have substantial math/physics background. [/b] Each Wall Street firm sets their own recruiting methods; some use tests (mostly math) as a screening/interviewing device. Not sure how widespread this is.[/quote] That assumption is wildly incorrect for most banking jobs. The banking is pretty easy and the math very straightforward which is why they have no problem hiring humanities majors. The firms are serious when they say that they can train the "banking" part. It is the drive, grit, and soft skills that win the day in the end. Athletes from elite schools are so successful because they have all of the baseline material in terms of education and resilience.[/quote]
