How could I recover from a late start in undergrad?
I entered undergrad thinking I was going to be a doctor and realized this past semester that that is definitely not the case. I now want to enter finance in a quantitative position but feel like I am behind the curve and am not sure how to catch up. I'm now entering the second semester of my sophomore year and am trying to start my new path.
I plan to do an applied math major with minors in comp sci and econ. Other relevant information: I'm at a non-target/semi-target brand name school (top 30 general rankings), 3.1 GPA currently but i'm confident I can get that up now that I'm not taking natural science classes, no internship experience and only worked one job in my entire life that I can put on my resume.
I don't think I can get an internship this summer but next year I'll have probability, statistics, real analysis, C++, and econ courses, so I have a chance of getting one summer after junior year. My question is essentially what could I do to start catching up and have a good chance of securing a finance job by the time I graduate?
How to break into banking on my spring semester of senior years? (Originally Posted: 02/18/2013)
I am sure this is almost impossible, but I am still looking for an opportunity in investment banking upon my graduation.
I interned in back office at BB, and had an offer. Prior to this, I also had an internship in performance monitoring side of PE. To be honest, I actually accepted the offer already, but I can't stop thinking about going into investment banking. Since moving from back to front is almost impossible once I start my full-time, I am seeking for an opportunity before I graduate.
I know this is unethical to do this with offer accepted, it's hard to give up investment banking. Can you guys provide me advice on this?
How can I break into investment banking before this semester is over? And if I can't break in now, how can I make transition once I start working? I would welcome any advice.
Thank you
