Do you have recommendations for how to frame that mass mailing?Res Ipsa Loquitter wrote: ↑Sun Aug 07, 2022 7:30 pmYou didn’t strike out yet and could get a few CBs this week potentially, but you should also be mass mailing NYC, your school’s market, and your home market.
Start immediately, attach resume and transcript to all emails. Make sure resume isn’t weird or badly formatted.anonymous72722 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 08, 2022 10:08 amDo you have recommendations for how to frame that mass mailing?Res Ipsa Loquitter wrote: ↑Sun Aug 07, 2022 7:30 pmYou didn’t strike out yet and could get a few CBs this week potentially, but you should also be mass mailing NYC, your school’s market, and your home market.
Sure, just so long as during these two weeks while OP is not freaking out they are also mass mailing every firm in NYC + any market to which they have even vaguely plausible ties.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Tue Aug 09, 2022 12:17 amIt’s too early to freak out. If two weeks have gone by, then you should freak out.

Forgot to mention: make sure your email says you want a corporate role (could also say corporate or restructuring, IF the firm actually does Rx)Res Ipsa Loquitter wrote: ↑Mon Aug 08, 2022 12:51 pmStart immediately, attach resume and transcript to all emails.

In the body of the email, just say you didn’t have an opportunity to interview with them during [insert school’s] on campus recruiting, but would greatly appreciate an opportunity to interview for an SA position
A sharp sword to fall on for sure, but better than being destituteAnonymous User wrote: ↑Tue Aug 09, 2022 5:57 pmGiven the current market, you might also need to consider specifically mentioning you're interested in finance and funds when mass-mailing.
Is funds really unpopular outside of just K&E? If so, why? But there's still plenty of funds work in a recession...? I'd think there'd still be less PE raises, but I guess there's normal regulatory registered funds stuff?Res Ipsa Loquitter wrote: ↑Tue Aug 09, 2022 6:09 pmA sharp sword to fall on for sure, but better than being destituteAnonymous User wrote: ↑Tue Aug 09, 2022 5:57 pmGiven the current market, you might also need to consider specifically mentioning you're interested in finance and funds when mass-mailing.
Also curious re the negative sentiment towards funds. I've always heard it has a better lifestyle than M&A.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Tue Aug 09, 2022 7:49 pmIs funds really unpopular outside of just K&E? If so, why?
