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

My biggest piece of advice would be to first touch grass and second go make some friends
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.
