<p>BBs don’t recruit at Georgia Tech. If they do, it’s for operations / wealth mgmt / back office-type stuff - not IB. </p>
<p>What’s the point of gaining technical knowledge if you don’t plan on using it? You can show problem solving skills in any major. </p>
<p>If you were an employer looking to fill a finance job - would you hire someone who studied and is familiar with finance or a “bold, social, problem solver who, by the way, picked up finance along the way.”?</p>
<p>Banks may hire random majors for finance jobs at target schools (read: Ivy League) but not at non-targets. Studying something you’re not really interested in will only hurt your grades and motivation to do well. There are smart people outside of engineering. If you really want to do IB, you should major in finance, get good grades, and network like crazy. You’ll have a much easier time securing finance opportunities with a solid finance background.</p>
