Sophomore internship?
I am an undergraduate studying finance. I am wondering what to do for summer internships. Do people that want to work in ibd in junior year find something at a boutique bank for sophomore summer?

I was able to get an internship at an EB my soph summer. (Dads an MD)
Are you target or non target
That would be great but it’s hard as fuck. Only way to really do it is nepo/diversity. That is 100% true for freshmen. 90% true for sophomores.
I only got an internship through connections. Ofc be qualified and competent. Be professional. But that’s the bare minimum
So not true just network with alumni/hr at boutiques you can find on LinkedIn with freshman interns
Just see where other sophomores go. Somehow landed a hidden internship program at a MF just by networking with alums
Alums of ur school or of the internship program?
Del
lol where am i now then
can you PM the name of the program?
nowadays ppl are done with recruiting before their sophomore summer even starts, so it doesn't really play the biggest role.
Most ppl I know just interned at regional boutiques or some random PE shop. Legit sophomore summer stuff are mostly for diversity/nepo
If you go to any decent semi-target or better, it really doesn’t matter what you do sophomore summer. Most banks realize that not everyone has an internship their sophomore summer, and even if they do, it’s usually not too demanding. Any experience that you can get will be great
