#1. Hi, can I ask how you guys in Cornell MFE get to the intern/full-time opportunities? By your program directory, school's career service by self networking or by attending the career infor session in Cornell and then apply on their website?
#2. What job function you guys are normally looking for? More IB or S&T.
#3. Many of students in Cornell should have no many w/ exp right? How you manage to go through multiple interviews and etc.
Really appreciated!

Regarding your questions,
#1. We applied on company websites for Asia Pacific Intern/FT and we do have campus recruiting system called CCNet by which we get on campus interviews ( Spring for Intern, Fall for FT.). For Asia Pacific positions, you might expect 1-2rounds of telephone interview and superday interview in NYC.
#2. Most guys( here I really mean guys~) search for trading and most girls sales & trading. Apart from that, IBD is also popular. Risk management, equity research, quantitative research are all possible job functions according to last year's record.
#3. Yup, you are absolutely right. The average working experience is lower than 2 years for sure. We attend info sessions, workshops for resume, cover letter and interview right after we came here which is really intense with heavy workload. For my case, I think I am just lucky. I phone interviews by one VP one analyst, both behavioral Qs. Then I got invited to NYC for superday. Still two interviewers (normary 3-5), two directors. They asked me about my experience, accounting, corporate finance, market movement, convertible bond stuff. Most of us will read two books to prepare for interviews: heard on the street and John Hull's bible.
Hope this is helpful.
