Can I have mentorship to help me become an investment banker

Working for a large corporation is a passion of mine I don’t care about the money that comes along with it I just want to have a successful future that has purpose.

At my university I study financial economics currently undergraduate in my first year.

My university has really opened my eyes about how the world runs and the decisions that take place which structures the world of finance and global economics as a whole.

On LinkedIn I have been messaging multiple people from large banks mostly GS,Jpm, Deutsche bank the list goes on but I getting a response isn’t always the case.

At an event at my university I had the chance to attend and meet many people who work across many banks being Barclays, HSBC and desutche bank so on and what they spoke about was very interesting but I only managed to network with one who luckily I spoke to for a while.

My main aim of this post is to be able to speak with some investment bankers and learn from you almost as a mentor as I believe having a mentor is an exceptional way into getting into finance as well as having you as a part of my network to learn from.

In conclusion all I ask if for time and your expertise to learn in order to be an aspiring investment banker in the far future.
