USC Investment Banking(Undergraduate)
Alright so I have read a lot of threads on this topic as there are many, but a few are old and I'm looking for some advice more in the present. I have been offered only the TTP(Trojan transfer Plan) and In doing so I would spend 1 year in switzerland, paris, london, or Rome and then go to USC for the last 3 years of college(I lean toward Switzerland myself). Other than that the best options I have would be BU and American U(probably not great, but I'm not too sure for IB). I have also already gotten an internship at a local investment banking firm that I'm looking to go back to this summer. It's a small firm that I could probably go back to after college, but would that be a significant help on my resume for getting into a larger firm in la? I know that many people have stated that USC is really only for LA investment banking, which I am ok with, but is it doable if i wanted to to transfer to a NY firm? Do those kind of transfers happen often or not so much? I have also heard that the USC alumni network is very very good, does that still hold true for investment banking? I have met some people in the industry and one of them said he could help me get an internship position at Dimensional but really only once I'm near completion at a university(but that firm is very competitive and I'm not exactly sure how that will pan out). Any overall advice that someone who has gone through a similar process could give me? Thanks for your any interest.
Edit: I'm not overly happy with my current choices, would ditching this and trying to transfer to another college be better? I do have contacts in the IB industry that are really all in LA, but would I get more opportunity in NY or is there just so much competition that it is a slaughter? Thanks again for any interest or insight anyone could give.
USC MACC Los Angeles IB (Originally Posted: 12/17/2012)
Hello everyone,
I am currently looking into master's programs for the fall, and came across USC's MACC.
I know a MACC doesn't place too well into IB (except for one or two kids from UT, Michigan), but would the brand name of a school help me find an analyst job in IB?
So would USC's brand name in SoCal, coupled with networking on my end, help me leverage my fin undergrad (engineering state school, but well-known in Cali) into an offer at an IB? USC would probably limit me to SoCal, which is more than fine by me. No preference on BB/MM/Boutique.
Note: Also interested in TAS at Big4, but would obviously prefer IB.
What does MACC stand for?
Master- Accounting
I am currently going through IB recruiting from a top MACC program (Not USC). If you want, PM me and I may be able to shed some light on the situation and speak in some detail.
Anyone else?

USC Marshall for LA/HK/others? (Originally Posted: 08/26/2009)
Hello folks, I was just wondering about the situation for USC Marshall undergrads in terms of IBD. The career office seems a mess, and a lot of the guys seem to get shafted and put in wealth-management divisions.
Anyone know how's the internship/job situation like in the LA/HK/international market for USC kids? I know it's non-existent on the East Coast, but I was hoping that there would be something elsewhere in IBD.
In HK
IBD is full of Ivies as well, with a few from top Asian universities
My friend's friend at ML is from USC, but he got the place based on his solid network not his school name
I'm assuming you went to USC. The career center is a joke. The get less and less quality employers. Southern Wine Spirit? I mean come on, when I pay 50,000 grand a year, I don't want to work for some shitty sales job.
huh. my personal experience with usc's career center was different from yours, i guess. i thought they bent-over-backwards to help me. in fact, they hooked me up with a job that is hard to get out of undergrad.
and, as a recent grad, i would have to say that usc is not a core target for ib outside of LA/SF. its kinda of in between a target and non-target.
How about now? It's been 8 years since you have said this. Know of anything?
