<p>I’d like to hear some more feedback about PAM as well. </p>
<p>However, I do know of one recently graduate (a friend of a friend) that majored in PAM and is now joining Goldman. However, I’m not sure the division.</p>
<p>I know of another PAM major (friend of an acquaintance) that is joining (I forget) either JP Morgan, Merrill Lynch or Morgan Stanley. Again, I’m not sure the division.</p>
<p>Also, a distant relative of mine was able to secure a BB investment banking analyst job out of the PAM program but this was a number of years ago when the market was different so this might not translate well to present circumstances.</p>
<p>However, I too have looked on Linkedin to see what PAM majors do post-college and it doesn’t seem that many people are working anywhere spectacular.</p>
<p>Anyone else, please? It seems like there a few other people who are interested as well…</p>
<p>Ok, several things</p>
<p>1) College major isn’t a dominant factor in landing an IB or other top gigs. It is more likely a function of your GPA, work experience (internships), and being able to sell yourself in the interviews. I have friends heading to IB who majored in Government, Sociology, Mechanical Engineering, PAM, ILR, etc. And, at the same time, know a bunch of people from Econ, Stats, math, or AEM, who wanted to break it into IB, but got dinged by all BB firms. </p>
<p>2) Even if you major in a ‘hard’ major or quantitative one, if you can’t sell yourself in interviews, you won’t likely to recieve an offer.</p>
<p>3) Landing an IB is very competitive. IB looks for candidates who fit the roles well. Even if you are the smartest person in the world, if they don’t see that your personality or skills fit their desired credentials, you are out.</p>
<p>4) In conclusion, it is UNHEALTHY to ponder about all this stuff so early on. Enjoy college, make friends, and work hard.</p>
<p>Lazykid said it the best. I-banking in itself doesn’t require series and sequences people. A good math background may help but you need to have a sharp personality to truly get into banking. MY cousin from dartmouth was a psychology major and was director at credit suisse. Kids with history majors make it to banking.</p>
<p>Thanks again for all the replies. I guess I’ll just stick to PAM, and hope that I catch a lucky break somewhere down the line, as that is what it seems you really need…</p>
