I'm in a bit of weird situation, hopefully some of you can provide some quality input.
I am currently a sophomore attending a school in the Northeast, I live in Mass.
This summer I am looking for internships but specifically out of state, (NY,Chicago, Charlotte, SF). I don't have relatives in any of the places listed except for NY, I just would really like to step out of my comfort zone and work away from home. Problem is, not many firms hire sophomore's to begin, so that alone eliminates a good chunk of firms.
This past summer I was lucky enough to have a summer position at a AM firm in Boston (think Putnam, Fidelity, Eaton Vance) working with one of their portfolio managers. My question to you guys, what is the best way do you guys think I should approach contacting the out of state firms that I'm interested in?
Any and all advices are welcome.
tl;dr
I'm a sophomore from up north looking for an internship out of state, what's the best way to approach.

network. reach out to alumni in the firms/locations you want to intern at. should probably be less picky about the firm considering you're only a sophomore.
Most of the alums work in the northeast and a few are dispersed around the US, but I have compiled a list of alums in the areas i mentioned and plan to contact them once I get done with finals. and regarding me being a sophomore, I understand completely which is why i said that narrowed the list down. What I have done was pretty much made a list of all non BB banks form those areas and plan on cold calling/emailing and hopefully getting a good feedback.
Yea that's true, I got to a semi. The people at the firms I have on my list to contact are individuals who have graduated from Northeast schools, and would know my school.
PM me ... went to school and grew up in MA and may be able to offer some insight
Why not go back to the place you worked last summer? didn't like it?
