Title says it all. Does anyone know of any firms looking to hire any first years? Unfortunately, I didn’t get a return after SA but was able to land an internship at a small M&A boutique for the last 6 months - however they only hire laterals/experienced bankers…any guidance would be greatly valued and appreciated.
Feel pretty overwhelmed being that I’m graduating in a few weeks and am unsure whether I’ll have a job after I graduate
