I am a sophomore at a small school in Michigan, studying philosophy and accounting, while also having an internship doing IB for the school year. I have tapped my schools limited network in IB or any high finance, and now I am trying to get ahold of analyst at any MM or BB banks, but have gotten zero response. I have followed up and sent my resume, but still nothing. Does anyone have any advice?
