Bank Week 2021

Tuesday, February 2 @ 5PM

Omer Tanvir/VP Goldman Sachs

CSOM 2005

Investment banking: It is something you hear about a lot at BC, but do you even understand what it is? More people than not feel that way. BC grad Omer Tanvir at Goldman Sachs will break it down for you using his "lemonade stand" analogy and you will have a much better understanding afterward. If you attend nothing else, make sure to join this program. It is fun and enlightening.

Wednesday, February 3 @ 6PM

Presenters:

• Lia Frankis, Investment Banking Association Co-President

• Dan Stingi, Investment Banking Association Co-President

• Lauren Duffy, Investment Banking Association Junior Officer

In this workshop, students from the Investment Banking Association will show you how to create a resume that the banks are looking for. There will be time to ask specific questions about your resume.

Friday 9-10:30 AM

Via Remo networking Platform (see this guide for Remo tips)

The incentives and motivation by our employers attending this firm to increase diversity is real and urgent. This is a chance to learn about the different opportunities and to make some solid connections that you will need if you decide to pursue opportunities at any level in the banking industry. You may have to get up a bit earlier and dress up (at least from the waist up) but trust us it's a time to have some meaningful engagement with these folks before the platform gets crowded.

Tuesday @ 5 PM

Featuring:

• Siobhan Burke, UBS

• Lauren Flick, Barclays

• Chad Witecy, Nomura

• Stephen Chiaramonte (RBC)

These panels pick up where "What is a bank?" leaves off and allow for a deeper dive specifically into IB. Each panel will give a high-level overview and then allow for any questions. The assumption is that you don’t know anything about IB. Remember: No such thing as a bad question! These are BC alumni who want to be honest with you. Questions will be submitted via chat so you don’t have to ask them out loud. Some talking points include:

• Cover what Investment Banking is a high level

• Day to Day what an Analyst does

• How does the job develop from junior banker to more senior level

• What does an intern do over the summer? What knowledge level is expected?

• How does it change as they transition from intern to full time?

• What differentiates a stellar intern from a decent one

• How can an intern do well over the summer
