  • How will that get me closer to investment banking or asset management?

    I can't work to work. I need to add progression to my resume.

    • Wait, wait. For years, you kept quitting banking jobs to take another shot at becoming a Marine officer. We said GAAAAH DON'T DO THAT, but you did, and you made it . . . into the reserves. Which we thought was an odd thing to jettison a series of potential careers for, but hey, it's your dream. Now you're telling us that you have the option to switch to active duty, but you're not going to, because now you want a banking job. What?

      • Charlotte, Richmond, and Minneapolis are headquarters of large banks (namely BofA, Capital One, and Wells Fargo), not all the banks are in NY/NJ...have you considered those places? HC works for Capital One in McLean, VA.

              Take her with you. If she earns more than you, become a gigolo instead.

              • She's a PhD student. She's not moving.

                Realistically, there's worlds of opportunities in the New York and New Jersey area. For me to move elsewhere is silly.

                        • On reflection, 50 applications a week may not be possible whether the opportunities exist or not. It can take a long frigging time to fill out an application, even if you have all the actually relevant info handy; inevitably they ask for weird crap like a reference's street address, or have required fields that don't apply so you have to puzzle some way past the computer. They may have an upload-a-resume option, but the parser software is always crap so you spend almost as much time correcting as you would have entering manually. Employers may ask you to enter some information twice, or jump through utterly bizarre hoops or tax-credit questionnaires. And don't forget setting up yet another damn web account for every application.

                          Al has a full-time job, whatever is going on with the Marines, and a GF. Also, eating and sleeping. Even if you cut out rec time and all employers have gentle, humane web apps, 50 applications is about 25 hours.

                            I want to make sure I'm not a complete idiot. Do I just send an email saying I'm interested in registering? They don't need anything else, right?

                            • Correct. Just send a simple email to express interest in registering and ask for details.

                              • How does this resume look? I brought back my restaurant management jobs. The chronology is off with later part-time jobs appearing towards the end of the resume but I thought it more appropriate to list more functional full-time jobs first even if they
