Hello everyone. I am in a bit of a mess. I have graduating a semester late this upcoming December. My major is Finance, my GPA is a 3.58, and I am from a non-target school. I am looking to break into a Financial Analyst position in Corporate Finance when I graduate but I do not know how to proceed with this. I only had one internship last summer in Data Analytics (basic coding in Alteryx and Python) and I have one other internship this summer in Data Analytics as well (coding is SAS).

Hey! Definitely a masters in finance can help. I would say the biggest thing is going to be getting some hands on finance experience to help give future employers confidence in your abilities. One strategy you can look to use is to network with alum / cold email folks at smaller organizations to see if it would be possible to get an unpaid internship just for experience. Of course, you want your initial out reach to just be about being interested in learning more, and, based on how the conversation go, hopefully an opportunity to intern will arise.
