Referral from an exec for IB internship
I'm in a pretty unusual situation and I'm looking for opinions so here I go:
Sophomore at semi target recruiting for IB. I'm a STEM major with a 3.7+ and decent extracurriculars for finance purposes. So I've been networking at a handful of BB, EB, and MM banks. As it turns out, one my parents' really close friends is a C-level exec at a BB/EB bank. I was able to get on the phone with them and the person told me that they'd submit a referral/reference for 2021 IB summer internship.
So now, my parents seem convinced that I've got an internship at this place in the bag as long as I go through the interviews fairly well prepared. But I still feel very nervous about my chances there and I'm still trying to network and interview wherever I can.
Does a referral from someone that high up generally translate to a job? Or will it really just lead to a first rounder at best? Should I still be busting my balls to get interviews wherever I can?
first rounder at best, was in similar stituation and was grilled to death, didnt get the internship(TBF it was my soph year summer)
