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.

what is your current job?
Still looking for a job. Have no experience in finance as of yet.
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
What’s your reason for even wanting IB? Sounds like it’ll be a massive uphill battle.
You could get a CS job with similar pay and far less hours for less effort.
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
Like Regional boutique banks right? What is the best plan to network with these smaller banks?
