New grads better be from the top programs, unless you know someone who can get you an internship. HR will look internally to fill spots, then use referrals from current employees. The good news is that once you're in, you're in. And that goes for front or back office. I've worked in a few financial firms, but could never get into the big investment banks or exchanges until I had a current employee vouch for me. Now that I'm in, I've have recruiters calling me for jobs at major banks and other exchanges. Good luck in the job hunt J. Right now it’s all about networking and who you know.

That's fine, I was just curious about your path to wall street. I've just graduated from college and I am always asking people how they got started in what they do. I'm still figuring tihngs out myself. Anyway, I'll be checking by... interesting stats on your blog. Haha… totally understand. That’s fine, I was just curious about your path to wall street.

If I give out any more information, it would be easier to discover my true identity. I originally worked in the medical field before entering the financial arena if that helps. http://www.freemoneyfinance.com/2009/12/update-on-jim-nantz.html Thanks for visiting J in FL, but I’d like to keep my anonymity, especially after leaving that prostiution comment on FMF.

Do you have a more in depth introductory post somewhere on your site?
