HELP Finance Question Internship

Hello, 

I'm a rising senior at the University of Southern California, eagerly pursuing an economics degree/ Finance Minor with the intent of landing a finance job, particularly in IB, PE, or M&A. I'm excited about the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead in this dynamic industry. 

While I don't have any internship experience, I'm confident in my academic achievements and my ability to excel in a finance role. However, I'm really worried about landing a job after I graduate. Does anyone have any advice or help that I can use to land a job after graduation? I know the 2024 Finance cycle is over, and now it's 2025. I have a 3.6-3.7 GPA. 


I'm eager to learn and grow in the finance industry, and any advice or help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. 


I truly appreciate your time and consideration in reading this. Thank you so much for any advice or help you can provide!
