When do you know you should stop pursing IB?

Hi everyone,

A little background on me so you can better understand: -I'm about to graduate undergrad from a non-target school. -I don't have any family/family friends connections in finance let alone IB. -I've had 1 IB, 1 PE, and 1 regular finance internship since I decided I would want to pursue IB (about 1.5 years ago) . -I've been cold emailing like crazy every week for the past 2-3 months but haven't made much progress.

I'm wondering, is it time to give up? I know recruiting is basically over, and I'll need a job due to student debt obligations.

Any advice is helpful.

Investment Banking Short Resume Review / Recap

“Daniel really took his time to help me. Our session ran well past the scheduled time, and he went through every part of my resume in detail. He didn't just fix what was there; he also showed me how to think about it going forward, so I can keep improving it on my own as my experience grows. He was diligent, careful and very patient with all my questions, and at the same time kind and easy to talk to. It was clear why he has been so successful, and he shared what he knows openly. Honestly, if I hadn't met with Daniel, I think I would have missed out on a lot of opportunities down the line. He is an amazing mentor and I'm grateful for the time he put in.”

Investment Banking Mock Interview

“Great guy, kind and easy to interact with. To be honest, I did have a hard time understanding his accent for the first 5 minutes but I was able to quickly pick it up after that so my session was not affected. He was great at simulating an actual interview environment and asked great question tailored to me in real time. He was also very very very helpful with the actionable steps that he outlined during the last 5 minutes of our call. I am currently in the process of booking another session with him to make sure my technicals are absolutely bulletproof.”
