Start building your LinkedIn early
Not just a profile — post breakdowns, share insights, show your progress.
It builds visibility and attracts recruiters before you even apply.
DM professionals the right way
Skip the “I’m passionate about finance” message.
Ask specific questions, add value, and always follow up.
Track every application
Use Notion or Excel — log who you messaged, what you applied to, and when to follow up.
It keeps you consistent and accountable.
Learn actual desk skills
Python for trading, Excel for modelling, market commentary for Sales.
You don’t need to be perfect — but you do need to speak the language.
Apply early and wide
Don’t just wait for GS to post online.
Target AMs, boutiques, brokers, family offices — the hidden gems.
Build your own portfolio
One trade recap, one macro thesis, one backtest project = game changer on your CV.
