A retired investment manager based in New York City, Steven Saslow draws on decades of experience in the financial sector to serve as a consultant to The Blackstone Group. In addition to advising The Blackstone Group’s senior executives and investment committee, Steven Saslow also mentors the firm’s upcoming analysts. Outside of work, he prepares the next generation of financial professionals through Rutgers University’s Road to Wall Street program, which he helped develop as a means of providing valuable resources to students interested in Wall Street careers.
The Road to Wall Street program connects Rutgers students with professionals from leading firms such as Citi, Credit Suisse, and Goldman Sachs. The program’s resources extend beyond general professional guidance to include technical skills workshops, interview prep, and networking assistance.
A highly competitive program open only to sophomores and select freshmen, candidates must carry a GPA of at least 3.3, submit a strong resume and cover letter, and undergo an interview matching process that ultimately connects them with a Wall Street professional. To ensure that the program is tailored to support the success of each individual participant, applicants must also provide a preference ranking of the Wall Street divisions that they are most interested in.
During the spring semester, Road to Wall Street participants take part in six two-hour boot camps that prepare them for summer internship interviews the following fall. The program also includes site visits to Wall Street offices, as students continue to gain insight from their professional mentors. In this way, Road to Wall Street not only offers students a head start on careers in finance, but it helps them discover the various career paths available to them within the sector.
