Getting started in Investment Banking(IB)

Just to preface I don't come from a target school and neither is my GPA crazy high for investment banking standards. What is the best way to land myself a job in investment banking full time or even an unpaid internship at this point. I recently graduated with a computer science/mathematics bachelors degree.

just look for any job at this point, particularly in SWE given your CS background. Also, I would start networking ur ass off with local IB boutiques in your area 

 

Forgot to mention I have two bachelors degrees. First one is a BBA in Finance and second bachelors is computer science and mathematics. I always wanted to get a job in investment banking due to my interests in financial markets thats mainly the reason why. Yeah it will be an uphill battle, but I want to get there somehow. 

 

start networking with small local IB boutiques, and once u get in its not that hard to lateral to a bigger/better bank
