Second year college student with question pertaining to IB internship
I have just finished my second year of college at Sam Houston State. It is not a target school by any means, but the business school definitely has a focus on banking which I think helps out some. My main concern is that reading through the forums and guides on here I feel that I am very unprepared for the technical aspects of interviews or even working. I am a junior by hours which puts me at graduating in December of 2019. I still have some pretty crucial courses to go through like investments, commercial lending, and financial spreadsheet modeling which will help immensely in my opinion. The problem here is that I am applying for internships for summer 2019, and from what I understand the interviews and offers happen in the Fall coming up. I wont get to take my investments course until Spring due to a prerec class required. The point of this post is to ask if I need to be learning all the basics pretty much on my own even though I will likely learn it all in my courses this next year due to the interviews being so soon. I appreciate any insight or advice.
You will have to learn the technical aspects on your own. I would recommend reading through some interview guides (M&I, Vault, BIWS). Also, I found the Rosenbaum and Pearl book to be quite helpful as well.
I wouldn't graduate eawrly if you dont have to, maybe double major if you can. I recruited for the Houston area and don't think I met anyone from your school this year. That being said I recruited though the non target superdays and recieved an offer so it's possible. My IB club sent out a few guides and they were super useful. Also, when you are networking, if you get a good rep ask them, it shows that you are working hard.
Ask the rep what exactly? Sorry I am a little confused.
