Turkish ibankers & networking

Hi Everyone, 

Im a target school student(junior) and havent done any intern yet. I was a mathematics major in turkey and then came to us in my sophm year and started from scratch. I have never considered IB career in my life and suddenly tempted me with numbers - work life - fancy vests…  I am trying to catch interns and applying to banks butI struggling with networking. Tbh i literally dunno how to do small talks with people. thinking I am cooked at this point and a little bit confused about my career. I am seeking a guidance or advices even open for networking.  Anything would be helpful and appreciated

2nd year associate from a target school, what specific school are u talking about, i can help you depending on what u mention

 


1. Run mock interviews with juniors that completed their SA stints at Columbia
2. Get more reps, simple. You only get better by actually having more coffee chats with the bankers
