Question regarding career path from a college freshmen in unique situation
Hello!
Somewhat unique situation.
I went into college thinking that I wanted to become a software engineer, so, while I did get into some target schools for IB and such, I decided to go to what I felt would be the better CS school. I'm currently a first year at Georgia Tech with one semester finished and a 4.0 GPA.
I've realized that I would much rather be working in investment banking or even s&t (mainly IB but I would prefer pretty much anything in finance over CS). I know that, for those types of jobs, the school you go to matters a lot and that GT is not a "target" school, so I wanted some advice on what path I should take to get into IB.
Theoretically, I could switch to finance major and try to get Investment banking internships but that doesn't seem like a great move because Tech isn't really known for finance and is really good for CS.
Would it be possible for me to stay as a computer science major and logistically find an internship and eventual job as an IB? Since Tech is known for CS, I'm thinking of trying to leverage that.
If not, would my best bet be to just try and transfer to a target school and major in finance? If it makes a difference, I would prefer to stay at Tech and major in CS because I feel it provides some very good job security in case finance does not work out.
All advice would be appreciated. Thanks!P.S I don't know how much of an impact this has, but I have a top-tier CS resume with multiple related internships but nothing finance related (although it's always been a passion).
