IBD or PE in Hartford, CT

Does anybody have any idea what firms are in Hartford, CT? There doesn't seem to be any lists or posts about Banking or PE in hartford. I've actually never been there so I have no idea if there would be any banks/funds in that area.

The closest city to my school is Hartford CT, and I'd be willing to drive over if I can land a good off-semester internship there.

Thanks

Soooo you go to UConn

The answer to your question is 1) network 2) get involved 3) beef up your resume 4) repeat -happypantsmcgee WSO is not your personal search function.
 

haha i don't go to UConn. There's actually another city i'm closer to but it has absolutely nothing outside of PWM , which is a step down for me at this point. Although I'll consider if i end up that desperate to add some brand names to my resume. (gosh, the things I do for a 100-hour work week....)

 

What about some kind of finance/actuarial work at one of the big insurance companies? That is was Hartford is known for right?
