| Abstract | This study focused on the advantages, skills, and characteristics of non-target school students who go to work for investment banks in New York City. Specifically, I examined the recruiting processes, the characteristics of different types of candidates, and the opinions of professionals in the investment banking industry to provide me with an evaluation of non-target school candidates. The resulted analysis showed the particular areas non-target school students were ranked and excel in, such as financial knowledge, personal skills, work ethic, and overall working experience. Based on the informational interviews I have conducted, the findings concluded that 100% of the interviewees would rather hire a non-target school candidate than a target school candidate. A data set was compiled of the statistical results. |
