Equity Research

Hello I am a current sophomore studying cs/finance class of 28. I got my first internship at Bain Capital this summer. I started to realize that I am very interested into Equity Research and am curious about how to break in? 

I understand a lot of banks have finished recruiting and as a back up I will go into Credit Rating Agency's(Moody, S&P, Fitch) but I really want to start in ER.
