And I FINALLY got an offer for a summer internship at a MM firm. I come from a UK non-target so honestly sooooooo happy to have gotten something. I just wanted to thank the WSO community for everything from the 20 FAQ London edition to the obscure threads that helped me even an iota along the way.
Thank you

Congrats
Similar story just signed at MM in London as well
Thanks for letting us know
Did you graduate from the UK or elsewhere?
all ma MM boys stand up LFG
Congrats on landing your offer. Way to be persistent.
Huge congrats!
Congrats on finally getting there! As a fellow non-target in first year, would you care to elaborate on your journey and what you focused on doing in the lead up to applying for summers?
Thank you! I think it depends on if you're UK or USA. In the UK, focus on applying to springs, and, if at all possible, find a summer internship at a no-name regional boutique (if you live in a city, there will be at least some small firm focused on corp fin). I did spring weeks, which 10000% helped me get my foot in the door. I should have done a summer in first year too. But it doesn't matter now haha
where can I find these no-name regional boutique and how to apply for them. I'm graduating in summer 2024
Awesome man, glad to hear it.
Congratulations. Welcome to the club. Was in the exact same situation last year. Went from non target and non finance degree to a mm bank in m&a.
congrats bro!
Very well done. As a fellow non-target who was in your shoes a year ago, I know how hard this is.
This is no small achievement. Celebrate, you deserve it.
Congrats, its tough and especially takes extra effort in this job market. Well done.
Congrats!! Really hope to be able to say the same next yr
CONGRATSS!!!! I just got an offer at a MM doing m&a too. Honestly thought I wouldn’t be able to get any internship before I started
Congrats!
Congrats bro, would you be open to sharing any insight you might have for securing 1st year internships?
Would love to tell you my current plan & adapt based on any advice you can give.
Will shoot you a DM!
Could you also shoot me a dm as well? Thanks a bunch!
Could I get one too? Please and thanks
Hi would it be possible for you to dm me as well? Am London based and am keen to learn more about how to get a first year internship.
Congratulations to you
Please can I have a list of companies you applied to
thank you
