BoA presentation Feb 3
Fellow Financial Math students,
Bank of America will have recruiters on campus next Tuesday, February 3
for a presentation for BofA's Global Risk Management Associate Program
(GRMAP) Internship. The presentation is at 4:30pm in room 2403 at Nelson
Hall. They will be conducting first round interviews for this program on
February 9th at NC State. While I did not do this internship, I know about
this program because I'm going to start working in the equivalent
full-time program this summer.
A description of the program can be found here:

Also, there is a description for this program/position on NC State's epack
(career services) website.
Just to let you know a few points:
-First, BofA does not sponsor visas for this program! Therefore,
international students may not be eligible for this program.
-Second, this is not a "quant" program. While a mathematics background can
be very helpful, you may not necessary use a lot of quantitative
techniques in this program. Instead, this program is typically geared
towards undergraduates with a broad background (economics, business,
computer science, etc.); however, the program does consider some graduate
students, especially those with little work experience. Therefore, more
competitive candidates will probably have a broader skill set than a
candidate with only a very strong mathematics background who is instead
probably better off applying for Bank of America's quantitative management
associate program (QMAP)--although unfortunately the QMAP program does not
recruit directly at NC State. In particular, during the interview process
for my position, the emphasis was largely behavioral and non-technical by
focusing on soft skills (e.g. strong communication, leadership and
interpersonal skills).
-Third, the deadline for applying for this program through epack has
expired; however, if you are still interested in applying, be prepared to
drop off a resume at this presentation!
Feel free to email me if you have any other questions and best of luck in
your job searches!
Sincerely,
Ryan Wesslen
