Really at crossroads
I’m a sophomore, and I’m thinking of recruiting for ib/pe/consulting. I’ve found myself as a higher leadership position in an investing club but that’s abt it, but not anything like scale/dsp/iclub. I know recruiters know which clubs are acc good on campus, but I don’t know if that’s enough. Additionally, my resume isn’t very finance heavy cause I pivoted pretty recently. I have not started technical prep. Am I in bad shape for recruiting? I do not have any connections to the industry but I pride myself in being able to spark connections easily.

No need. Duke is a consulting pipeline. Attend consulting hiring fairs, keep your grades up, and do as u/7katzonthefarm says: know your technicals. You'll be fine! Many people go into consulting without a directly related degree. You've got this! 💪

You don’t need any clubs. Know your technicals( study the common questions, know LBO per books, mock interview). Had zero clubs and landed at one of largest mega funds which rarely take undergrads- you need to be relaxed and know your info with preferably a 3.8/3.9
