Why I found high finance recruitment so hard
I went about high finance recruitment independently and it was my biggest regret
Too much info online made it hard to condense what info is most important. Felt like I was going through textbooks on my own to study for exams instead of having a prof teach me and summarize the key concepts
Was memorizing the 400 IB questions instead of doing mock interviews to practice
Didn’t have people in my shoes I could ask questions to so constantly felt lost without direction
The result of going about recruitment alone?
I wasted 400hrs+
Relied solely trial & error
I was constantly doubting myself & stressed about recruitment
Looking back I wish I had someone in my shoes who landed the roles I was seeking guide me since I can follow their foot steps and leverage their time, mistakes, & knowledge
Even though I ended up breaking into high finance alone the journey was full of ups & down and frankly sucked
Hence why I started JHL in my last year to help students avoid the painful process I had to endure
PS. If you want to go fast go alone, if you want to go far go together
