AM Internship Help
I have viewed the forums for a while now and have found great advice and would like to thank everyone who has contributed. I plan on contributing myself after I go through the internship application process.
Before i get into my questions id like to briefly introduce myself. I am a rising junior at a non-target (still top 100) with a 3.55 GPA where I am double majoring in fiance and real estate and I'm involved in a decent number of extra-curriculars with a leadership role in one of them. I currently have an internship at Morgan Stanley Wealth Management where I'm working with a couple of brokers. Last summer I interned with a local credit union. This fall i will be applying for various summer internships at banks and AM companies, mostly with a title along the lines of "Asset Management summer analyst" or "private banking summer analyst" or something to that effect.
-I am studying abroad this Fall, as most of the application should be submitted in September I am nervous about them contacting me. I will be back by early December so I don't think interviewing would be a problem, but I will not have my normal phone. So I was curious if will they email me(which is fine)? or try and call me(in which case i would be screwed)?
-How much will my MSWM internship actually help? Do I have a legitimate shot at not getting rejected straight away and making the interview stage from a BB or a decent AM firm (like a Northern Trust or BlackRock for example)? I am pretty much relying on the online application plus 1 pretty good connection at BNY Mellon, as a couple BBs recruit at my school, but only for operations.
-Lastly, before i take off for Europe, id like to do a little networking with alumni on linkedin. Should I stick with only trying to contact alumni working in the department that I want, which is not many, or contact them regardless of their department, as long as its a company im applying for? Also, could I just get some general tips on how to do this from someone with expierence, like what to say?,should I ask to meet or just for advice? etc...
Thanks in advance.
PS: I posted this in another section, but I'm guessing from the lack of response that I got I may have put it in the wrong section, and I am thinking this could be more appropriate. Sorry for being repetitive, I will delete the other thread I started tomorrow if there is still nothing.
Put your number from abroad on your resume. Yes, they will email you if they can't reach your phone (but you might want to ensure that you can check your voice mail!)
It will be hard. You are from a non-target with decent internship experience, an ok GPA and ok ECs.
Contact them regardless of their apartment.
I hope this helped.
