Rising sophomore looking to break into IB
I'm starting my sophomore year at a target (Ivy), having just transferred from a non-target state school. I had a 4.0 there (mostly in Econ and Gen-Eds), and my current major is not very finance oriented (typical post-grad opportunities are in public sector or consulting). FWIW, I plan on picking up a finance related minor, and did a course in hedging (focused on options and bonds) at the LSE in July, however I did not intern this summer. In terms of any other experience, I completed a fairly weak government internship (county legislature) last summer, and was a TA for an Econ course second semester freshman year, along with being in a couple of non-finance related clubs. My general goal would be to eventually break into BB IB, eyeing a boutique IB internship for my sophomore summer, followed by a BB internship for my junior summer. If I perform well academically, and network extensively, is this realistic? Would you have any suggestions for what I should do, beyond networking and maintaining a strong GPA?
No offense but this is a dumb question. Yes it is realistic, and if I told you no, would that change you trying to break in?
Besides networking and other stuff, I would suggest getting involved in stuff that you find interesting and being sociable. I cant stress how important it is to not be sociable retarded. Go around talk to people, meet new people, and practice making conversations with everyone and listening, this will help you out tremendously on top of networking and other stuff.
