Need advice for up coming grad

I am majoring in math and minor in CS. Where do I starts if I want to do IB. I have no idea or no clue. Is there is such thing an imposter syndrome? I don’t even know where to begin. I have not much of a hard skill at all or knowing anything about IB side.

Do you have any relevant internships?

Almost impossible to get into IB when you are starting as a senior. Most people are prepping as freshmen and recruiting starts sophomore year.

Path of least resistance is to get some sort of job in finance, even corporate finance at a random company (ideally F500, but beggars can't be choosers), and then apply to M7 MBA after 2-3 years. That'll get you right to IB ASO

 

I have an internship lined up for me as a data analyst. I take a lot of finance classes in college as well including corporate finance, econometric and mathematical financial. I just dropping one of my major.
