Student Testimonial “I found the IRC to be an invaluable, real-life prep for job interviews. I interviewed with an equity research firm while working on the report and the interviewers were amazed at my level of exposure as a student. I was extended an offer, based without a doubt, on my participation in the Global IRC. I highly recommend the Investment Research Challenge to students who are interested in a career in finance.” – Steve Catera, Rutgers University, 2009 Global IRC Participant
