Club Spotlight: Finance Club

Tuck is great for students who are interested in a career in finance, and the Tuck Finance Club is one of many helpful resources.  We are a student-run group to assist Tuck students in understanding job opportunities available in the financial marketplace.  Whether students worked in finance before school or are looking to completely change careers, we provide a forum to support students in building the interview and networking skills necessary for securing a finance internship or full time role on Wall Street and beyond.

We work with the Career Development Office to assist students in exploring career opportunities.  The Finance Club also works in close cooperation with the Private Equity Club and the Investment Club.  We organize several events over the course of the school year, including:

• Recruiting and social events
• Resume reviews and mock interviews
• Workshops on various financial topics and career panels specifically for finance careers, including Investment Banking
• Financial modeling and valuation workshops with Training the Street
• Panels describing 2nd year students' internships
• Seminars on finance-related topics (e.g., valuation, day in the life of a trader, how to succeed on Wall Street)

Reflections from T’15 members:

• “As is Tuck’s way, the second-year members of the Finance Club were always energetic and willing to help me find my path to investment banking. Whether it was taking the time to do multiple mock interviews, having coffee and sharing their summer stories or helping me in banking-related classes, I always had a great support network of peers and cannot wait to pay it forward to the incoming class.”
   
• “From the pre-Wall Street Trek meeting to pre-internship meeting, I believe that each and every club meeting was very helpful and provided all the resources/information that I needed for the entire recruiting process.  But most of all, I was amazed by how accessible the second-year members were for mock interviews and for general advice.”  
   
• “Finance Club and T’14s gave me timely advice on behavioral and technical aspects of investment banking. They also introduced me to several senior bankers at their firm and guided me through the interviewing process.”

Good luck!
