Still no internships for the summer. Is my life over?
College junior here. I study at an Ivy but currently have a terrible (3.0) GPA. It's already January and I still don't have any internships for the summer. All I've heard were rejections so far. Realistically speaking, I'm not sure if I can still break into IB at this point. To people who have been in a similar situation, what advice would you give? What other careers can I look into? Is no role better than back office role?
are you kidding? Yes, your life is over. COME ON MAN! Your search is just beginning. There's plenty of boutiques to go to, esp. if you don't need pay. One of my MBA classmates had trouble getting a summer internship. He took an unpaid NYC boutique role, at some financial advisor I've never heard of. Today he is the head of TMT ibanking for Europe for one of the bulge brackets. Nut up and hustle motherfucker! Get your foot in the door in this industry and grind. Rise up!
