Advice on breaking into IB
Hi everyone, I'm posting on here and wanted to see what everyone's advice would be for my situation. Please feel free to provide any honest feedback! To give a little context about myself, I was enlisted in the military for a short period of time, became a cadet at West Point for a few years, and then transferred to an Ivy League School. I was very late to the internship game since I was locked in on being a cadet for a few years and didn't understand recruiting for IB, so I have never had an internship in anything finance related. My GPA is around a 3.4, so maybe that also contributed to not getting an internship. I have been trying to show my interests in finance by passing the SIE and taking financial modeling courses. Graduation is in a few months and I do not have a full-time position lined up and will not be able to push back graduation to get an internship. What advice would everyone have for myself to secure a full-time position in IB? Should I look at small boutiques, get a masters degree, try getting into any finance role and then network my way in, or am I essentially cooked?
Barclays nad a couple other banks I think have "hire our hero" programs I know can be a great gateway into banks for really any former servicev member but especially you at a target school I would start my search looking at those programs
