Hello, I am a rising senior at a non-target university majoring in finance with a 3.82 cumulative GPA and a 4.0 major GPA. I have been networking and building relationships with multiple individuals at some BB/MM firms (JP, Goldman, UBS, Jefferies, Moelis, and D&P). I have also had various finance related internships, but none in investment banking. I have spent time at UBS Private Wealth Management, LPL Financial, and currently doing economic and business analysis (EBA) at Booz Allen Hamilton. I have also taken valuation courses and preparing to take the WSO modeling course. In addition I will be sitting for the CFA Level 1 exam in December.
I have a strong financial acumen and ambition to work in IB. My concern is that coming from a non-target I have to rely on mostly my networking. If for some reason I am unable to get into a FT position upon graduation, would it be smarter to grab another degree in accounting (w/ math minor) or take the opportunity I have at Booz Allen Hamilton (EBA division). My thinking was going for a 2nd degree would give me another summer to get a SA position within a BB firm and improve my marketability and experience in investment banking.
