What is the craziest and sweatiest freshman you have ever seen? Just heard of someone doing a Morgan Stanley Investment Banking Internship freshman summer and had another S&T Trading internship at a top bank in senior year of high school. He also did a rather large search fund and a recently founded boutique investment bank internship throughout his freshman year. Is this shit the new normal?

I have seen a kid who did all three. MS and JPM and GS before he graduated. He ended up at his dads company. Curious to see the sweatiest kids you've all seen. They had to realistically all been nepo though.
All three is crazy work
The infiniti stones of the finance bro
Bump. Watching sweaty freshman at your school's designated finance clubs first meeting is a joyous event. You can just tell who networks with even the custodians of companies they want to intern at.
I’m gonna take a gander that his dad works in finance lmao
Never could’ve guessed that one. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm
Only way this happens is the friends and family internship program
Brand name HF freshmen into GS/MS for sophomore into EB Rx for junior and MF PE ft. U always see a good amount of kids across Wharton and Harvard that follows this path every year
I've seen these profiles. How do you even get the HF freshman summer? Is that nepo, school network, or hustle? I don't even get what you would do at a brand-name HF as a rising freshman. I was still doing summer camp counselor at that age.
Founders are alums who want to give back.
Def Nepo, anyone who says it isn’t is coping
I know a kid who interned in PE and in MS WM the same summer right after graduating hs
A first year from London got a summer at Blackstone NY...
I know a kid who got a BB summer S&T stint at an international office going into freshman year at a target, then in his actual freshman summer landed a trading position at a top pension fund office in Asia which offered to convert him a FT conversion for 3 years from then. Then did banking at a banking at a top BB sophomore year, MF PE junior year summer. Funny thing is he actually did an extra semester so graduated in 4.5y and didn’t even go into finance, now works at a startup
To be honest I feel like people that brilliant are usually wasted in finance, if I was that kid I wouldn’t want to toil away in finance either
