I am tired
I did not get an internship. I'm honestly kind of relieved that it's over. I did the whole nine yards Hundreds of apps. Cold emails, netwoworking, referalls, and not one single interview.
I hit up every single shop I could think of. I applied to roles all over from PWM to IB, to S&T to Corp fin/corp dev. I applied to non major locations like Jacksonville where I figured I'd have a better shot.
If you asked me a couple months ago what I would feel like if I got rejected from every app, I think I would have told you that I would feel sad and angry, maybe a bit jealous of my friends who got internships. But truthfully, I am relieved.
Normally I think I would ask for advice but I think now I'm just going to log off and go to sleep. I'm not sure what I will do in the future but I guess I can't control it. Lord knows I couldn't control the past 8 months.
keep going trust me just get something that sets you up good for ft recruiting, It does not have to be brand name just get the skills and build your network trust me it will pay off, a marathon not a sprint.
I mean isn’t that what the internship is for? I’ll admit that my failure is my fault. I failed to realize how early IB recruitment started and that lack of awareness will cost me dearly for at least a year, probably more. There’s a decent chance that I will not get a job in HF unless I spend 190k on a masters. This is how the game is played.
