Freshman Internship Questions
Hey everyone. I'm an incoming freshman at a target school, and I have a few questions regarding summer internships following freshman year.
1. How early is too early to network? I was planning on shooting cold emails starting Oct. Is that too early?
2. Who should I network with for these unstructured internships? I think I would have more success with >=VPs, is that a fair assumption?
3. Are internships at this stage paid? Obviously not expecting a prorated FT salary or anything close, but something just to get by
4. How much, if at all, do these internships help in non-diversity soph recruiting? Looking at BofA especially

Make sure your dad recruit for the Goldman CEO asap
It's extremely unlikely you'll get a brand name internship following freshman year. Instead of hyperfocusing on BBs and whatnot (which you'll have plenty of time to do later), you should cast a very wide net and target firms of many sizes and fields.
