So in a few weeks I begin my studies for my MSF at a (undergrad) target. I got a HireVue at MS, and a recruiter from GS reached out to me last month to urge me to apply for IBD before some Sunday in mid-July. As I occasionally scroll through this website, I find that a lot of you are having super days and have gone past HireVues for GS while my app still says "Application Received" on their website. I applied to a lot of banks (EB/MM/BB) SA 2021 programs but I haven't had any interviews or any promising signs. My MSF is a 2 year program so I aim to get an SA role, but judging by all the success you all seem to be having, I have decided I need to up my game. Has anybody been in my shoes and have any advice for me? I guess worst case scenario I would have to interview for FT roles with no prior internship experience which sounds super difficult. I have been in contact with MDs at a few MM shops but I am not sure what I should try and get out of them. Any and all help is appreciated guys. I seek networking tips, recruitment tips, typical MSF recruitment tips, etc. Thanks
