01
Asian Nerds nerd
0 Score: 10 points
Offer probability: 0
The most common type of Chinese students I see, 90% is this type of student, the book knowledge is very solid and the learning ability is strong. Students like this often have seen Break into Wall Street, and they will be more active when going to various info sessions. The most common thing for this type of student to do in is to change the resume .
I remember a student who was very impressed by him. He was a stern girl and saw him at JPMorgan Women's Event.
She was very quiet at the time, but I could tell she wanted to integrate into other people's conversations, so she asked her to join a 6-person coffee chat that was being carried out here. When she shook hands with her, she shook her hands softly (in the United States, it must be a powerful and confident handshake) and said hello. She listened politely while everyone was talking, but she did not join the conversation.
English is their problem? Yes.
High score SAT or ACT does not actually mean that they have strong language expression skills. Brazilian , Mexico , Indian and Eastern European students have obvious advantages in expression and conversation: they know better how to express themselves correctly, smoothly and insightfully . After the
Event ended, she sent a thank you email, but I did not reply. Thousands of international students are like her: Unfortunately, their common characteristic is that they cannot get an offer. 90% of Chinese student unions fail in this link.
The most common question for students like this is: "What is your typical day in IBD?"
The biggest weakness of students like this is: proficient and accurate oral expression (Verbal Communication in local context)
02
Unnecessarily Aggressive over-expressed drama artist
0 Score: 30 points
Offer probability: 0
I often see students like this. They are students with good technical knowledge, often call networking calls, and brush WSO every day and write some trolls.
They often speak most enthusiastically in the Group Coffee Chat session, but over-expressing themselves makes it difficult for other students to say a word. students who make things difficult for their classmates often cannot get along well with their colleagues after work .
Some people will ask inappropriate questions after getting the interview through OCR: "Did you have any salary increases? I heard that DBs have increased." "Our school is a target school, and my resume is not bad." "XXX, XXX, XXX, and XXX, are all from your company, and I joined the company a few years earlier than you." Students who experience this situation often cut it in this link, no matter how good your technical knowledge is.
yes, Wall Street people are famous for Aggression (aggression personality) . But no one wants the subordinates they are admitted to have such a strong Aggression. And it is 2021, not 1970, and there is no way to survive on Wall Street by relying solely on aggression; you need to know how to cooperate with your colleagues.
Today's investment banks will have a question during the interview: "Do you have any teamwork experience?" Teamwork is the quality that investment banks value the most in the past ten years.
The most common question for students like this is: "Do you sponsor international students?"
The biggest weakness of students like this is: selfish (and the exposed area is completely visible)
03
Gatekeeper "Goaler"
rating: 50 points
Offer probability: 0
Such students know how to participate in professional events, and many of them have also been to business schools (or participated in school career training). When participating in the Info session, they will be very polite and participate in everyone's conversation.
I once interviewed a student from the West Coast. He knew that his school was not from East Coast, so he had to do a lot of networking (he also had to do networking with a lot of people before getting the interview).
I asked some behavioral questions, and his answers were obviously practiced and recited many times; there was no deviation in answering, but also had no highlights . I remember the English Self intro to my heart, and I can see that I have memorized it many times and I am very familiar with it.
He knew that he valued prior experiences very much during interviews, so when he was a freshman and sophomore, he participated in many Chinese student clubs and is now President. I had internships when I was in my freshman year and sophomore. One was a well-known VC in the mainland, and the other was a well-known brokerage .
In my opinion, this resume is called "Asian Resume" . It does not have enough overseas internship experience and the school clubs are also only focusing on the Chinese student group.
Their experience will actually be better than most applicants, they are gatekeepers in the application process; you must do better than them in order to get an offer. The most common saying of students like
: "I really enjoy following the financial market!"
The biggest disadvantage of students like resumes are mainly Chinese student union, securities firm/VC internship, basketball and piano .
04
Technical Wizard technology expert
Score: 60 points
Offer probability: 40%
This type of student belongs to the top 3% of the students I have met. Their characteristic is that technicals are very strong (having participated in Case comp and won rankings, and can build simple DCF or M&A model ).
Every year I meet several such students. technicals is very solid, and the difficulty of various guidebooks can no longer satisfy them. . They will study cryptocurrency, stocks, etc. in their spare time.
Their biggest weakness is that they cannot make the interviewer like them, which is the most difficult step.
Investment banks deal with people. Just having good technical knowledge is far from being competent for this job, and there is no way for us to meet customers with confidence. I usually tell them very kindly what needs to be improved. You are still a little short of it. Maybe next year.
The most common question for students like this is: "What's your take on FOMC's most recent meeting?"
The biggest feature of students like this is: Morgan Waitlist (Chances are, they will get an offer. The offer just might not be from Goldman or JP)
05
Expression type high EQ students
score: 90 points
Offer probability: 70%
Many people may not know that a person with high EQ can get an offer better than a Gatekeeper who is more prepared. Your technical knowledge is good, but it only means that you have worked hard, but it does not mean that you are smart or have high EQ.
Wall Street is a very strong place in Elitism (Elitism). Everyone hopes that the colleagues around you are smart and have common topics.Whether
EQ is high or not is not a subjective conclusion, but whether it has expression type EQ, and English oral expression needs to be strong. In the interviews in the past few years, Chinese girls, studying in junior high school abroad, and studying in foreign language high schools in mainland China, have often the strongest expression skills.
Their technicals are often not the strongest, much weaker than the previous category of "technical experts", because they will not spend their main time on technical interview questions at all.
They will spend more time on networking to let alumni know who they are, learn about the latest job search updates, new interview questions and forms. Compared with the former technical experts, this type of applicant pays more attention to behavioral interview skills , and pays more attention to making themselves presentable. They will participate in many clubs (sports, fraternity, sisterhood, English debate club), and are more willing to express their views and opinions in front of American friends.
The most common saying of students like this is: "What gym do you visit during weekends?"
The biggest feature of students like this is: You will mistakenly think they are ABC.
In addition to the above factors, there is another very important factor - to find a job as soon as possible.
Investment banks are getting more and more urgent to recruit people, and the timeline is pushing forward. If you are not careful, it will be difficult for investment banks to grab people at the speed of "unemployment after graduation" to fall into the hell mode of "graduation and unemployment".
As early March this year, major investment banks had already begun a war of fighting for people in the United States, the United Kingdom and other regions. Up to now, has 19 investment banks (including nine major investment banks, high-quality investment banks, and other large investment banks) "cancels the next autumn recruitment" and opens the 2022 summer internship application

One of the five largest Canadian banks that were the first to grab people, RBC ( Royal Bank of Canada ), , opened the channel to recruit 2022 summer interns in September last year. As of now, only the 2022 Corporate Banking/Global Credit Summer Analyst positions are still open, and other channels have been closed.
Credit Suisse opened the internship recruitment channel on February 11 this year, 2 days earlier than last year.
Citi opened 24 positions in one go, covering Sales & Trading, Capital Markets, Corporate Banking, Research, etc.
This shows that you are not in a hurry to , but investment banks are very anxious .
What's even more terrifying is that when you are still squatting at home with online classes that are upside down day and night, you whine, "I can't get any more of the booking" while slowly changing your resume and not starting to apply online yet, someone has already received an offer from the 2022 job search season.
As of early April, WST has 6 successful students won 2022 Summer Intern Offers from RBC, Jefferies, Citi, BNP, and BDO.
That is to say, you haven't started applying for online applications on yet. Others have already locked in next year's summer internship offer and even the first high-paying offer after graduation.
