At the Bruin Investment and Trading Group, we prepare students to excel in Investment Banking recruiting. When new members are admitted, they undergo a full quarter of rigorous training. The training covers accounting, Excel, valuation methodologies, and lays the foundation to master technical skills for interviews. The training culminates in a thorough individual stock pitch for a company of choice. Students are also taught the soft skills needed to win job offers. The club hosts networking seminars, workshops for behavioral questions, and provides resume tips and templates. Members who landed offers at top firms use their experiences to help students navigate their individual processes. We encourage students to reach out for any and all questions. Our weekly meetings serve as a check-in for members – keeping them updated on current events and market news, sharing the latest internship opportunities, and staying up to date with the recruiting timelines of firms. As a club, we pride ourselves most on our culture. With no business school and high barriers to entry in banking, members understand how valuable our platform is. Every club member is willing to go out of their way to help another member. At the end of the day, Investment Banking is a people business, and it is the people of the Bruin Investment and Trading Group that set it apart from the other finance clubs on campus.
