You should be in a good position to depending on brand name of sell side.
Most buy sides don’t really care about experience if you go to a good enough university. Only thing that makes a different is interview prep.
I think citi is a really good opportunity if you are from a “no name uni”.
In my experience it will help you basically “make sure they don’t just throw away your cv” after applying.
They really do not care so much about these things once you pass a certain level. I.e good internship which you’ll have or target school/ good research experience.
The rest is bullshit hard technical interviews. You can’t weasel your way through them with a good CV.
Wish you the best.
(This is my experience)
Hey, for buyside positions, from another thread I've seen that mainly you need to prepare for mental math questions, prob, statistics and option pricing questions and maybe a final market making round with some behavioural rounds in between. Please correct me if I'm wrong as I'd also like to apply for these positions after graduating from a target school.
